Vibration intensity on Ally X is too high

The power of the vibration motor in the ROG Ally X is pretty extreme. Is there a way to lower the vibration strength globally (without per-game settings), rather than needing to turn it off entirely?

This is with the latest (v310) MCU firmware from Asus.

Solution

ah, I found it - under "controller" I need to set "hardware limits" to "manual" instead of "default"

Yes in the handheld daemon menu it's under calibration

Since a lot of people are having this feedback, can you suggest a better level?

For default

I think around 50% would be nice

60% is a good level.

on the ally X I also found decreasing the stick minima and increasing the maxima useful

I will keep that in mind, some devices need those limits to be that low

antheas•8/6/24, 9:41 AM

So they are aggressively set

the sticks on mine are really tight - the default deadzones were way too big

bqOP•8/6/24, 9:42 AM

I ended up in a situation where pushing did nothing and then suddenly jolted way off

bqOP•8/6/24, 9:42 AM

so fine movements were hard or impossible

bqOP•8/6/24, 9:43 AM

that's a relatively minor problem though. The vibration being like a bomb going off was much worse

bqOP•8/6/24, 9:43 AM

the motors are extremely powerful and I doubt anyone would be happy with the default 100% power on this device

bqOP•8/6/24, 9:44 AM

anyway thanks for giving me the courage to change the "controller calibration" to "manual"

I didn't intuitively expect an option for the rumble intensity to be in there

(side note: I think the PS Edge controller type is better than the xbox type for Steam use, because that way you can map the bumper buttons)

Bbq I didn't intuitively expect an option for the rumble intensity to be in there

I know, vibration intensity was an afterthought

antheas•8/6/24, 9:52 AM

We will tweak the limits as time goes on

antheas•8/6/24, 9:52 AM

Yes dualsense used to be the default but to have a better onboarding experience we changed it to Xbox

bqOP•8/6/24, 9:53 AM

that's fair.

noticed the HHD commit fixing this; thanks again!
