The video is a detailed DIY tutorial on installing hall effect joysticks on a Rog Ally device, highlighting necessary tools and step-by-step procedures. Initially, the presenter outlines disassembling the device, replacing the old analog joystick modules with new hall effect modules, and ensuring careful handling of ribbon cables and small screws. Reassembly follows, with emphasis on reconnecting all components and securing everything back into place.
Testing the new joysticks on **gamepadtester.com** reveals that while the left joystick performs similarly to the original, the right joystick delivers better accuracy but feels shallow on the edges. An issue with interference from hall effect triggers is noted. Adjusting the inner dead zone to mitigate this interference is demonstrated, showing mixed results across different games such as "Hollow Knight" and "Red Dead Redemption 2." The presenter acknowledges this adjustment as a necessary workaround, comparable to adjustments needed with stock joysticks.
In conclusion, while the installation did not fully achieve the desired outcomes, the presenter remains optimistic about future attempts and directs viewers to additional Rog Ally tutorials for further learning.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses installing hall effect joysticks on a Rog Ally device. They detail the necessary tools: Phillips screwdrivers (#00 and #1), a plastic pry tool or a guitar pick, tweezers, and specific hall effect joysticks. The process begins with removing the back cover using the #1 Phillips screwdriver to take out five screws and loosen one. After prying off the back plate, the next step is to unplug the battery cable. The procedure then involves removing the joystick boards and modules by lifting tabs, pulling out ribbon cables, and unscrewing components, replacing the old analog modules with new hall effect modules, and reassembling the device. Key actions include carefully removing and setting aside small screws, ensuring ribbon cables don’t get caught, and properly aligning and reattaching joystick caps.

In this segment of the video, the speaker explains the process of reassembling a device after replacing the joystick. Key steps include ensuring the ribbon cable is properly routed through the hole, lining up and securing the board with plastic clips, and screwing everything back into place. The speaker emphasizes the importance of reconnecting all cables, including lifting tabs to insert them securely. After reassembling the device, including plugging in the battery and tightening the screws, the device must be powered on to test the new joysticks. The testing process is demonstrated on gamepadtester.com, showing that the left joystick performs similarly to the stock version, while the right joystick is more accurate but slightly shallow on the edges. An issue with hall effect triggers interfering with the joysticks is noted, and a fix is suggested.

In this part of the video, the presenter demonstrates how adjusting the inner dead zone to about 20% resolves interference issues with the left joystick. They show that this adjustment stops unintended movements when pressing the left trigger and improves circularity. The explanation includes the joystick’s positioning and its sensitivity to interference due to its proximity to other components.
Testing different games, the presenter notes that in “Hollow Knight,” the left joystick functions correctly without interference, while in “Red Dead Redemption 2,” interference is still visible but can be mitigated by increasing the dead zone to 10-20%. The presenter concludes that while adjusting the dead zone is not ideal, it is a practical workaround and compares it to their experience with stock joysticks that also required adjustments. Links for purchasing the joysticks are mentioned for viewer reference.

In this part of the video, the speaker concludes by discussing the process of replacing joysticks if needed. Although the desired outcome wasn’t achieved in this video, the speaker hopes it was entertaining and informative. They express optimism about resolving the issues in future attempts and encourage viewers to check out other Rog Ally tutorials and handheld content. The video ends with a thank you to the audience for watching.
