Thank you for watching! That's a good question as I've not used the Legion Go, but I expect that it would only because every other 65W brick has allowed it. At first it didn't, but I believe Asus quietly updated the Ally to allow 30W Turbo mode from 65W charging. But I'm not 100% sure on every product.

@zombiezone2010 5 ай бұрын

My biggest issue right now with dock mode. Tried 65w stock ally charger and 100w charger my ally battery still drains like mad. GUESS WHAT no one talks about this issue... Supporting 30w turbo mode is one thing but battery drainage is a bigger issue no one gives a **** about. Once your battery reaches 20% it will start to activate battery saver mode which makes your game almost unplayable. Mind you it only takes 2hrs for me to reach that stage, which isn't ideal at all for desktop gaming. I wrote this because I feel like no one really addressed my frustration I'm having with these docks and chargers and not knowing which is compatible or not. There is literally no dock except the official gaming charger that supports 30w turbo mode without battery drainage for desktop gaming.

I'm sorry to hear that. What part is laggy specifically? Could it be the emulation software causing a slow down on the Ally itself? The dock is really just a pass through for internet, USB, etc., so I feel like the issue would really be the Ally itself and whatever software is being used. Do you have any problems when not emulating?

Make sure you use the stock Asus 65w charger that came with the ally. There is currently a bug where using some third party chargers with this dock, even if 100w, result in battery drain when running in full 30w Turbo mode. Jsaux is currently investigating the issue.
