General Controller Settings (2.) is where you go to enable or disable controllers for use when Steam is open. There’s a lot here so let’s break it all down. Click on Controller (1.) to access the controller settings menu. Once loaded, click on Steam (1.) in the top-left corner then hit Settings (2.). If it doesn’t work quite right, let’s try some fixes.įirst, open up the Steam app. If it does, I’m jealous because that wasn’t my experience. Step 5: Configuring the Controllerĭepending on your controller either everything will work or it won’t. Click on the controller name to add it to the device. In the lower half of the window your controller should show up. Now click on the Bluetooth icon.Īnother menu will open. Once that happens, click on the system tray (the bottom-right corner of the screen with the time and date). In both cases, the controller’s icon will start to flash. For Dualsense or Dualshock controllers, hold down the PlayStation button and the Share button. For Xbox controllers, press the button on the top of the controller to put the device into pairing mode. Step 4: How to Hook Up a ControllerĪdding a wireless controller to the ASUS ROG Ally is nice and simple. You’re now technically able to go off and play in docked mode, but there are several quality-of-life improvements I’ve devised I’d strongly recommend checking out. This worked for me, but if it doesn’t, try ticking Make this my main display (3.) with two selected. This should turn the Ally screen off while still leaving the TV or monitor untouched. Click on one then use this drop-down box, next to Identify, to select Show on 2. Just below this (2.) you’ll spot a clickable box. One is the Ally itself, two is the device it’s hooked up to. The one and two (1.) boxes are your TV or monitor and the ASUS ROG Ally. We want to click on Display with the right bumper.Ī new window will open (shown in the image above). A sub-menu will appear with a bunch of options. Use the right trigger to left-click on an empty space on the desktop (the area with shortcuts and an ASUS ROG background). If everything is working as it should, chances are you’ll now be staring at two screens: One on the Ally, one on the TV or monitor. This is the equivalent of turning it on and off again but this solved my problem in an instant when it didn’t work, so I strongly recommend trying it. If for whatever reason the Ally doesn’t output its screen to the device, completely shut down the Ally, wait 10 seconds, unplug everything then hook it all back up and try again. Power on the ASUS ROG Ally and with any luck the device should auto-detect your TV or monitor and output the Ally’s display. Once your dock of choice is set up, plug the HDMI cable into the dock and your viewing device, turn on the TV or monitor, and switch the channel that matches the HDMI. Just pull it out then hook it up to the outside-most port then plug it into the Ally. That device has the connector USB-C cable inside the main case. Most docks tend to be an all-in-one device, with the exception of the Omnicase 2. This will vary from dock to dock but the general rule is a USB-C cable from the dock goes into the power supply port across the top of the ASUS ROG Ally, then the main power adaptor – which is also USB-C – goes into the dock and then into the plug socket. This problem may not exist in the official Ally dock, but again, I’ve reached out for confirmation. My theory is that the included charger’s power delivery isn’t high enough to pull enough juice through the docks for both the dock and the Ally. I’ve reached out to my contact at ASUS with questions and will update this guide when I hear back. The other gaming profiles – Silent at nine watts, Performance at 15 watts, and Turbo at 25 watts – all work without any major issues. All three work and work well, but they don’t transfer enough power to the ASUS ROG Ally to run the device in Turbo Mode at 30 watts. So far I’ve tested the JSAUX Omnicase 2, JSAUX 7-in-1, and the Syntech dock. Good news! If you own a Steam Deck dock, chances are it’ll work with the ASUS ROG Ally, albeit with a pretty big caveat. Step 7: How to Configure a PS5 Dualsense Controller on ASUS ROG Ally (Optional).
