How can I reprogram new joysticks to bazzite on the rog ally x?
I know I can do that with armory crate but there is no armory crate in bazzite so I’m wondering how I can reprogram the Hall effects joysticks? Thanks
CI don't think you can on the -deck builds. There's asus builds with lots of asus specific tools including armoury crate features, but those are desktop builds (they're meant for the asus laptops and 2-in-1's, not the ally x). For the Ally X there's HHD for controller mappings, and through steam input.
CSorry I’m a little confused as to why you mentioned deck stuff, I don’t have a steam deck nor a desktop. I just have a rog ally x and wondering how I can reprogram the joysticks
Ci think there's a bazzite-ally build, but I'm not sure how well it works, its meant for laptops
CI have bazzite on my rog ally x though
CBy default for the Rog Ally X you use bazzite-deck, which is bazzite with the Steam Gaming Mode
CThere's bazzite-ally, which includes a whole bunch of asus specific tools, but I'm not sure if those are compatible with the Ally X.
CWhich feature specifically do you need?
CWhatever I have it works with my rog ally x
CI bought the hall effects joysticks and installed them on my rog ally x. I had to open up the rog ally x and everything but I have to reprogram the joysticks.
The rog ally x has windows installed with armory crate and I can use armory crate to reprogram the joysticks, but with bazzite there is no armory crate to use. So I’m wondering if there is another app or something that I can use or if I need to reinstall windows.

CCan't you reprogram the sticks on windows and then boot back to bazzite?
CHow exactly would I do that? Swapping out the SSD? Wouldn’t the windows installation SSD have the reprogrammed joysticks and not the SSD with bazzite?
CYou can create a Windows-To-Go on an external
CDoes it not save to the controllers itself?
Cthe firmware
COn my legion go some of stuff is saved to the controller
CI want to prevent installing windows and keep bazzite. I’m not sure how to boot into an external windows boot
C@antheas Sorry to tag you, but is bazzite-ally build supported on ally x? there's some features on asus-linux that allow recalibrating the joysticks
CIf it’s not supported then I’m not using bazzite-ally. I must be using a different kind of bazzite on my rog ally x if that’s the case.
Cbazzite-deck is the correct build for ally x
Cthat's bazzite with the Steam Gaming Mode
Cthe UI you boot into by default
Ci get its a little confusing its called -deck but that's just the name
CI’m not entirely sure which bazzite but it does boot into steam when I first boot it up then I can go to the desktop.
Cyes, that's the -deck build

COkay, so from that then, how can I reprogram the joysticks?
ANot true
Cwell either from asus-linux if it works on ally x, or from windows
AThere are some patches that expose the calibration daya
ABut no calibration
CSo Windows it is then
Cgotcha
CSo I would have to reinstall windows?
C@antheas if I reinstall windows, recalibrate the joysticks, then reinstall bazzite, would the joysticks then work on bazzite?
C@antheas "add calibration setting" 
or is that just the data?
or is that just the data?
AIt's a bunch of stuff you can use to do calibration
ABut the way to use it is not documented
AThe software to do it is missing
CYour best bet is setting up an external USB drive and a Windows-To-Go install
Cso you don't ahve to touch your internal ssd
Cif you don't have that, you're going to have to shrink your btrfs partition to make space for Windows
CWould bazzite recognize the new joysticks once I recalibrate it?
Cyes, calibration data is saved on the controllers itself
Cas i already suspected
CI see. And how would I create a windows to go? A usb drive?
CWait correct me if I'm wrong. It is right?
AThere's no code for calibration
AJust a way to read and write the calibration data
