ASUS recently released the ROG Allytheir answer to the Valve Steam Deck, and it seems they have taken a page or two from the recipe used by Valve to make their Steam Deck, as we are with a very user-friendly device when it comes to disassembling and repairing its interior, almost regardless of the component it is.
One of the main components that we may have to replace in a portable device is the battery, and in this case we find a unit that is completely screwed, without glue, to the chassis of the console.
Likewise, the joysticks are extremely easy to replace, being able to change not only the PCB that houses the joysticks, but the joysticks themselves, so that when the inevitable “stick drift” reaches our consolerepairing it will be extremely simple, and above all, cheap to do ourselves on a Sunday afternoon.
In general, the only drawback that we could find in the ASUS ROG Ally -and that it shares with the Steam Deck- is the use of adhesive on the screen, but even so, It doesn’t seem to be overly difficult to peel off in case we have to replace it for some reason, so we shouldn’t worry.
