There is basically 3 layers of overlay for the stock one. You tap the overlay option in the pull out menu of the MSI app. Tap it to cycle through which of the 3 sizes you want. Unfortunately you can add anything to it

The Claw is such a disappointment for a device this expensive. I really hope both MSI and Intel optimize this device sooner rather than later.

@@erfgthygreas1709 Noted with thanks. Yeah, I agree when the Go initially dropped, lots of folks complained about its software however there are tips and tricks around that also Lenovo is listening to their customers, and hopefully, those issues will be soon addressed via OTA updates. I totally understand the Go's weight might be a deal breaker for some, but I'm cool with it. Unlike Lenovo, MSI went radio silent upon releasing their expensive half-baked device, even though I'm hopeful they might turn their fortunes around, I'm always going to view them with suspect eyes.

The big takeaway is MSI made a solid device, but Intel needs to up their game in the drivers department, and needs to start partnering with game studios to better utilize their GPUs. The benchmarks tell a pretty solid story here, the raw power is there. But the games arent made with this new player in the GPU scene in mind. THe Claw's biggest benefit for now is going to be it's still a great indie handheld, and with USB4 is going to have a more flexable eGPU experience. The biggest Let down for the Claw is the strange position it's two models put themselves in, the core ultra 5 version has the same GPU on die, and due to the less power demanding CPU side, actually can perform better in more gpu bound scenarios. where the core ultra 7 model performs better in more cpu bound scenarios. Intel has their work cut out for them though, If they want their APUs to start taking market share for portable gaming devices in the future they need to do the heavy lifting and really knuckle down on driver support, and will have to take cues from AMD with working with game studios for game support. nVidia is still king on dGPUs AMD is king on iGPUs, Intel's got a long road to catch up on.

I've owned the ally since release and been nothing but impressed with it as a portable device. Playing hell blade at the moment and it runs it amazingly in handheld mode at both 15 and 25w. I also got myself a 3080 and wow this transformed the device for TV play. With the claw I expect it to not beat the ally but it's great to see intel starting to take on AMD and or will only push these consoles the same as ARM too.

Claw was just not it for what they had offered. Rog Ally is the way to go if you JUST want a gaming handheld. Where the Legion Go Stands out ( and why I can justify the size of it ) is that it is more along the lines of a laptop replacement rather than just a handheld device. I like that I can put it on a stand or on a pillow while lying in bed and playing some games with the controllers dethatched.
