The 65W charger does not work for me. I had to get a 100W charger. From what I've seen there are some people that the stock charger works for and others that it doesn't.
There are a few different models. My guess is you went with the cbeaper one (HB0801S) This onlh has HDMI 2.0. So only has 4k 60. There is 1 without hdmi 2.1 and 1 with. The one you wamt is HB1201S. This is the 1 thing i hate about the company already. Like, just make 1 dock imo.
It’s terrible that the “official dock” that ASUS sell only supports HDMI 2.0 and no VRR. It’s what I’m currently using, I love it for the minimalist design, having all the cables hidden away but this dock looks like the one to get tbh.
So if it helps cause that confused me too. The official ASUS charging dock that they sell has HDMI 2.0 which does support Freesync via HDMI. So it can not support VRR but it does support Freesync which from everything that I see is pretty much the same thing. So as long as your monitor is Freesync then you should still be fine with the ASUS charging dock.
@@MrJroman35 doesn’t support freesync unfortunately, I have a freesync monitor and when connected via HDMI, freesync is unavailable in the AMD display settings. I requires HDMI 2.1 or Display port 1.4
@@HarleyGC7 yeah your right sorry. I forgot that when I had my original ally I had the xg mobile hooked up to that same monitor and it was available. But I just checked the same thing you said and it is not. Sorry for my confusion
So if your monitor supports vrr and the ally x already has vrr natively why would u need vrr in the dock?? Meaning if I just hooked up the ally x to the monitor via a hdmi or USB c display port cable vrr would still work correct?? If you need a dock then I get why you would want one with vrr but just to be clear for people the ally x already has vrr and your display likely does as well so just hooking up the ally x to a display via a cable it should support vrr or freesync.
@@danebeee1 I am totally with you on that logic too and I think if you are hooking the Ally directly to the monitor via thunderbolt 4 or above then you are correct. I think this is only a factor if you are using a dock you need make sure the dock can support VRR meaning it has the proper mount of bandwidth to handle the required throughput/speed to support VRR.
Hey 128kb! Sorry if this comment is out of topic but remeber the gamesir g8 plus controller you reviewed a while back? Its the telescopic controller that also supports mobile and nintendo switch! The controller had alot of customizabilty potential with swappable face plates and face buttons but unfortunateley gamesir doesn't offer anything separately. I actually wanted to buy ps4 themed buttons for the g8 plus but the only route there was to commision some one on etsy to make them. I did find some one willing but they wanted to understand how many people are willing to buy this. So I was wondering assuming that you're also interested, if I could get your help setting up a pole or petition for those who are interested in buying ps4 themed buttons on your channel as a post or somthing? My goal is to get the seller to know how many people might be willing to buy this before he commits on making them. Sorry for the long comment and thank you for taking the time to read this!
The greatness and obsession with how long it is provides you with enough sound bites to talk about how long we need to wait for the next ghosts of satsuma! 😉🤣
I hadissues right outthe box. I hooked it up to my LG CX. Put on hitman. It started flickering non stop and basically looked like it was going to ruin my tv. Im guessing the cable it came with it trash. I tried all the hdmi 2.1 cables I have. Still happends. 😢
But what with performance in 4K games? I'm wondering how it works with some games that cannot be easily played on Mac OS (like PUBG or other battle royal games)
i prefer to use usb c input for my portable monitor i will have no use for that if will not fit with the skull & co grip case. pls review something cheaper like a dock with fan.
I have this dock, it works with 65watt original charger from Asus.
The 65W charger does not work for me. I had to get a 100W charger. From what I've seen there are some people that the stock charger works for and others that it doesn't.
@@matthewrasmussen2811 i see. Quite strange they they shipped different 65 watt charger.

Is this the best rog ally x dock so far?
I have the 12-1 and can confirm VRR works! I also have the 8-1 and it doesn’t work with VRR so definitely spend the extra $$ and get the 12-1.
I have the 8-1 and the VRR works, it only needs a firmware update.
@@eduardobautista8562 interesting, I’m gonna give that a go!
@@eduardobautista8562 Still doesn't work with the 8 in 1 for me after the firmware upgrade. Maybe I am just unlucky :).
I can't update because my rog ally doesn't recognize the device in the update program.

Is this better than their 6-in-1 vertical dock?
I'm sorry but for a review you couldn't pop out the Ally X off your case to see if it fits? Was hoping to see that but nope
@@Eclipser7777 I said it fits without a case in the video.

I’ll go one better and ask them direct for you!
So getting any case will be a problem with this?

I’ve seen a smaller minimalist style jsaux dock on their website, looks clean and simple. And also cheaper.
@@rocknflip66 if I'm thinking of the one you're thinking of then we've got a review of that dock on the channel
@@128KB heck yeah! would like to see your reviews on it 🔥 it’s the one that attaches with the jsaux mod case.
I hadissues right outthe box. I hooked it up to my LG CX. Put on hitman. It started flickering non stop and basically looked like it was going to ruin my tv. Im guessing the cable it came with it trash. I tried all the hdmi 2.1 cables I have. Still happends. 😢
I fit my ally x with a case on it. Was tight but fit.
Game stream with moonlight & this through my steam deck?
Id just get a right angle connector so the wire is not sticking up out of the Ally. its kinda unseemly and bothers me.
But what with performance in 4K games? I'm wondering how it works with some games that cannot be easily played on Mac OS (like PUBG or other battle royal games)
I wish I got the purple one but the translucent version was cheaper
I just got a case that. Ame with a kickstand and use the UGREEN uno usb dock for 15 bucks
i prefer to use usb c input for my portable monitor i will have no use for that if will not fit with the skull & co grip case. pls review something cheaper like a dock with fan.
Off topic mate but just to blow your mind. Moonlight is available on series x and s....maybe worth a video 😮❤
WHAT
Does this dock boost fps
No, only an eGPU can boost FPS whilst docked. We'll have videos on that soon.
@@128KB Thanks for explaining.
I ordered a bunch of stuff from them, they never shipped. Had to reach out to them to cancel the order a month later.
😱really?! That’s not good
Can you review the Mobapad centrepiece
coming soon
It has been two weeks since
I asked
😥
Showed everything apart from the Ally X docked....😂
Oh, another video...
Jsux product, pass!
128kb video, gladly watch all the way through to support them
Thank you dude 🙌
Lol who labeled the usb-a ports as usb-c's?! 😂🤦♂️ cannot support a company who clearly doesnt know what theyre putting in their product
Ever heard of a mistake ?
