Asus ROG Ally 2 confirmed - 4 issues the next-gen handheld PC needs to address

Despite occasional complaints about the controls feeling somewhat cramped, the Asus ROG Ally (curr. $599.99 at Best Buy) more or less nailed the ergonomics for the most part. Where Asus could improve with very little effort, however, is swapping out the regular analogue joysticks on the ROG Ally with hall-effect joysticks for the ROG Ally 2 — this would make the sticks more customisable and longer-lasting. While Asus is at it, it could make the controller-style bulges slightly more substantial to make the large device easier to hold onto for more people. A touchpad or two for strategy games would also be a welcome addition to make the Ally 2 more versatile, as would a built-in kickstand for table-top gaming sessions or movie-watching.

As anyone who's had a white Xbox controller knows, white is a terrible choice for a device that is meant to be held during intense, sometimes sweaty, gaming sessions — this is an even more prominent issue for a portable device. For the second iteration of the Ally, Asus should release a black version to make dirt, fingerprints, and stains slightly less prominent.
