ROG ALLY and STEAM Input help.

[fairplayer916]

The long and short of it is that it seems the Rog Ally prioritizes stroller input and bindings from its own Armory crate software over anything done in Steam input.

Seeing as Steam input has a much more robust controller input editor, does anyone know how to make the Rog Ally prioritize inputs from Steam input instead?

A quick and dirty example in case I wasn't clearly stating my issue:

Take mass effect.
In the Armory crate software, I tell the Rog Ally controller to just be a controller.
And in Steam input, I completely change the inputs. Either blanking them out so they shouldn't do anything, or changing them to keyboard commands instead. Like the a button being space bar, pause button being Escape key, Etc.

But when I go in game, the game still just sees the Rog I like controller as a Xbox controller. Completely disregarding any custom inputs made in Steam input.

Does anyone know how to make the Ally listen to steam input?

Are you in Auto mode? You often have to use that for the controller to be read correctly.

Yes, BUT i dont think you will like my solution. Here it is:

I completely uninstalled Armoury Crate and switched to GHelper.

i invite you to look up the software from any reputable Youtubers you trust. It was ETAPrime who convinced me to switch.

The software itself comes from Github. and any youtube video, or google search will point you to it.

It Does all of the core and most important things AC does like:
1. Setting wattage TDP (even farther then AC will)
2. Setting up the controller and backpaddles, autoswitching the controller from mouse mode to controller mode when it sees a full screen application (IE gaming)
3. Setting screen Brightness/Saturation
4. Setting FPS Limit
5. Setting Refresh Rate
6. Can be used to keep important drivers up to date, but i turned that off and just manually update drivers straight from ASUS when needed.(+ windows updates)

And yes, this software will let Steam Input set custom bindings as normal where AC would not.

I hope this helps. and Good Luck.

Im sorry? you could sell it on with transparency to the buyer for afew bucks. lots of guys are buying damaged ones either for parts or to fix and flip.

this is a thread for the ROG Ally though.
