![]() ![]() The core for the Asus ROG Ally experience is the AMD Z1 Extreme chip, one of the two siblings announced in April. We’ll have to run you through the broader specifications and potential first, before the actuals of experience come into the picture. There is only one spec that has gone on sale for now – with 12GB RAM, a 512GB solid-state storage. If you’re willing to experiment, be ready to part with about ₹69,990 of your money. It does raise a few questions too, one around refinement and the larger debate about whether Microsoft’s Windows at all really works in an environment that blends extremely portable form factors and a touch screen. ![]() It is a bold move, a sort of real-world investigation of portable gaming trends and gamer habits. However, this is a completely unchartered territory – Windows games on a hand-held, something the Asus ROG Ally is attempting to do. It's been extremely handy, though admittedly a bit of a niche use-case.If you remember the Sony PlayStation Portable (also called the PSP) from a few years ago, or have even sent curious glances the way of the Nintendo Switch since it arrived in 2017, chances are you’ve retained a soft corner for portable gaming consoles, even though smartphones have made many claims in the past few years, and rightly so too. I've had the dongle plugged into my PC, then when I've been running benchmarks in Baldur's Gate 3 this past week, I've switched the toggle on the rear of the board and gone into Bluetooth mode to connect to the test bench. Yes, this board is fantastic for dual-wielding PCs. I've only plugged it in one time so far, and I've been using it between two PCs at once. Though the battery is generally very good. There are some handy battery saver controls in the app to play about with as well. At least the key parts of the board you might wish to setup via the app are quick to access, including the RGB lighting customisations screen and macro setup.

Like many other big brand software packages, I find it's a bit difficult to navigate and usually trying to flog you something. I'm not a huge fan of the Armoury Crate software. Press the button and the scroll wheel changes function: it's a volume adjuster, media controls, lighting control, and able to run a couple of hotkeys you can set in the Armoury Crate software. There's a simple scroll wheel with a single oversized ROG logo button beside it. This keyboard still retains a whole lot of multimedia functionality for its size. It takes some getting used to, but I've been tapping away on it for a couple of weeks now and I feel I've got typing on the Scope II 96 down to a fine art. ![]() The Wooting Two HE is our pick for analogue gaming keyboards. It's handy, but not essential, and it's made possible by magnetic switches that the Scope II 96 doesn't have. ❌ You want an adjustable actuation: One handy feature on many of the latest gaming keyboards is that you can adjust the actuation for gaming or typing. ![]()
