I just got my hands on the ROG Xbox Ally and can confirm the sheer comfort is worth that peculiar grip design

I expressed to the Asus rep next to me that it seems quite light, and they replied that it's not, really, it's just the ergonomics that make it feel that way. And I'll be damned, because the handheld isn't actually any lighter than the original. It's all in those grips, which feel amazing. It makes sense, really; controllers have been doing it for decades, so why stick to the now-standard tablet-esque and Steam Deck-esque formula?

I was also pleasantly surprised by my experience using the new bespoke Windows OS that's being used for the ROG Ally and ROG Ally X. You can switch between the lightweight gaming mode and fully-fledged Windows 11 with a simple long button press. And the simple—and presumably more efficient—mode seems pretty intuitive, too, with Asus Armoury Crate integration and lots of Deck-like easy access functions.
