Lenovo Legion Go Review-Hall Effect Joy-Cons and Built in Mouse!

[@bigtrousers4287]

LENOVO DON'T LET THIS PRODUCT SLIDE! Start releasing different joycon designs as soon as possible! this could be a killer product if you put the work in!

[@Raven3one]

AGREED

[@BlueClover-lw3gw]

Can you remap start and select to the back buttons?

[@myhousehaswheels]

Idk why I’m commenting this but if you you have children you’re going to be a great dad

[@TheNewbTube7]

I don't know why you commented that either.... Someone wishes their dad was cooler 😂😂😂

[@Thrash666Wolf]

My dude, egpu is for when you wanna dock it and have better performance on a tv or at a desk with a monitor, you don't use the egpu on the smaller screen and you're not "stuck" with it. Just unplug the cable, and bam, you're back to a handheld. It's kinda perfect if you want to have a one device solution and want this thing to be your desktop, handheld and tablet at the same time.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

That makes sense brother . Thank you for explaining that

[@Stondiexd]

Poor battery life kills it for me.. I’m getting the ayaneo kun

[@nineflyerr3866]

Thanks for the great vid, share alot of the same sentiments! Love my legion Go, FPS mode takes a little while to get used to, but once you do, it really amplifies the capabilities of handhelds tremendously. Once the software catches up to the hardware competely, the experience and performance should be vastly superior to the SD and moderately superior to the Ally. Also, using sunlight/moonlight to stream games at 1600p 144 fps to this glorius screen for AAA gaming while in bed or on the couch is just pure gaming bliss. Side note: Control Freeks do work on the Legion Go with a little improvising. I have the Xbox black galaxies on mine using a little method involving boiling some water, tossing them in, then using a small pair of needlenoses to adjust accordingly.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Nine Flyer. My pleasure as always. I feel like once I get over the learning curve of using the vertical mouse I will use it a lot more. Thats very true about streaming, that’s a good way to take advantage of the giant screens max resolution. Oh dang , I’m gonna go adapt some of my Kontrol freeks. Have a good day my friend

[@jhimpoekwakwa2133]

why you paying you can watch this for free but can you also pay me now?

[@b1gjoekrash]

My experience with LLG as far as quick charging is that quick charging takes place when you charge the LLG while it is completely off or hibernating. If you are actively playing on or using it you get a VERY slow charge. When charging with it in hibernation mines went from 39% to 100% in 30 minutes.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

That makes sense, thanks for the info man

[@yohon6360]

Definitely. Just got my 100w charger and really helps, plus letting it charge like he said above while in hibernation mode charges at a really good speed tbh. deadzone fixes are a top priority so in a week I think we should have that resolved. So freaking frustrating trying to enjoy handheld mode but can't till they fix it.@@GamerHeavenOfficial

[@alexatwood6205]

If you launch into the BIOS you can change the charging speed to fast and it’ll charge the same speed with it being off or on. Also while you’re in the bios you can change how much ram is dedicated to the GPU normally is 3 but I changed it to 6 and got much more stable performance

[@corniel657]

That FPS mode is fire tho, wonder why ergonomic gaming mouse isn't the norm today

[@MobileDecay]

Well it’s good to see that the delivery man can kick my package over to my house and bicycle kick it over my fence like he loves doing and it might still work when I get it. 😊

[@udance4ever]

@35:46 Go is a 7th gen emulation powerhouse! portable ps3/xbox360/wiiu on the go! (no pun intended) Dual boot Batocera Linux & RetroBat

[@awaken11]

Yeah we like Hall effect sticks!

[@udance4ever]

this one feature alone makes me realize Lenovo is serious about hardware that will last

[@theburnerking]

I'm trying to figure out which handheld to get. So if I get his right the only thing the Legion Go has going for it is a bigger screen and the detachable joycons? It seems like a absolute mess at release. A portable handheld with dogshit battery, uncomfortable to hold, shitty button layout, slow charge, up firing speakers, loud fans, poor frontend software, thumbstick deadzones, no VRR, pointless resolution.....a bargain at 700 bucks. SIgn me up.

[@fabioauguanno9628]

Hi, thanks for this review. I have had my Legion Go for 3 days and I have to add a negative comment about a dead zone stiks problem that the Legion Go currently has. It's impossible to play FPS games. Greetings from Switzerland.

[@BigZ322]

Thanks for the in-depth review

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

No worries Big Z

[@CubeApril]

If Valve/Lenovo could make SteamOS a first-class citizen on devices like this, it would go a long way towards pulling me away from my Steam Deck (OLED). Seems like a sweet piece of hardware, much nicer than the ROG Ally for me (who plays mostly D-pad games). I know a lot of people enjoy having the full compatibility of Windows, but I desperately want to never think about updates or launching random apps to fiddle with hardware settings or controller remappings or anything else on my mobile handhelds.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Well said as always

[@TheNewbTube7]

Bazzite my friend... Haven't booted windows on my legion go for months. Steam OS all day

[@YarugumaSou]

The only thing I need is that mouse controller

[@leos8407]

Can you review the snakebyte gamepad pro x. I saw it and it looks good for 80€ and I want you to review it before i get it just to see how good it actually is. Btw ur videos r amazing 😅😊❤

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Yes I can , and thank you

[@Elcoyote_13]

Im curious brother kevin on why u didnt get the gpd win 4 since u have the 3 i recently purchased the win 4 instead of the legion go? can u tell me will i regret it or not if u could answer tht would be awesome thank you?🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🤙💙

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Good morning El Chapo, I actually don’t have the win 3 GPD anymore, but I would be very interested in reviewing the 4, or any of the current ayaneo’s like the air. Since I haven’t gotten any hands on time with the win for, I can’t really give you an answer but I hope you enjoy it when it arrives.

[@aoescool]

do the gpd win mini.. that's very portable

[@fatalnflip]

Did I miss the section on if any Kontrol freeks worked?

[@DrippiestSkullEmoji]

Nice🔥

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thanks

[@Lugiavsgiratina]

They really need to release special edition controllers 😱

[@FUNDERBURK.]

im hoping they make some alternative 'joycons' for this

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Same here. Like a version that’s the same as the left side, but both smaller and more ergonomic

[@cyzcyt]

9:23 that's because in 2023 everyone has a phone. And if you made a gaming device that's phone sized. It would just be redundant

[@arya3966]

Portability is more important than big screen

[@sharpiesharpie8356]

great video ! i been looking towards the legion i’m coming from the steam deck is the legion worth the upgrade i do want power and to be able to play a lot of games is this worth it néw to pc gaming also

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thank you. I still use my steam deck way more than the legion but they are 2 different beasts so to speak. There’s games that the deck can’t handle at a steady frame rate that the ally and legion can 👍🏼

Does anyone have any idea how to order just the left Hall-Effect joycon separately? Or hell, any "Wii Nunchuck"-like joysticks that have hall effect (even if it's modded)? This is my dream setup with mouse for casual gaming.

Waiting on the onex egpu. It was 599$ a week ago. Can't wait, never owned an external gpu, wish I knew more about PC upgrading. I wonder if it'll work for the legion go.

they said the deadzones sh9ould be taking care of by the end of the year

Portables still have far to go to become perfect. Heaven forbid they take design advice from real gamers/users.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

I dunno man portables are pretty nuts in 2023. iPhones running native console titles, handheld PCs up the ass

[@palooza1]

Did you at least get that Amazon driver fired and your product/money back xD

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

They came back the next day and delivered it, it was a logitech G cloud

[@metjetfan23]

Ps5 remote play on devices other than the portal. You need a third party app or attach a dual sense?

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Yes and yes.

[@Medsas]

7:37 where would switch rank in the comfort ranking? better than portal?

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

No without after market joycons it would be at the bottom, with the pair of ergonomic controllers I have, I would place it right below the portal in second place

[@GarydeBrown]

Great review and video. The Ally’s software updates have been sick. I went from 35-45fps at 720p with RSR at launch to now playing it at 1080p 45-55fps and it’s so smooth. Can’t wait for the Windows drivers to come out for the Steam Deck Oled so I can put Destiny and Game Pass on that and see how it performs. 🤘

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thanks Gary I appreciate that man. That was my exact experience as well, it got much better overtime. Have a good one

[@Alexander_Bahgheera]

YES!!! We NEED DESTINY 2 to be on the steam deck like YESTERDAY! But since I’m a recently new addict of the destiny franchise for the past half a year, I NEED A HANDHELD THAT CAN PLAY IT😅…. I can’t explain this enough! But I’m with ya bud, I couldn’t agree more. And while we’re at it being combat veteran that leaned into gaming to have better days like this gentleman, I respect his expertise and informative content. So before I buy both of these (ally and GO) next government payday😂, I need to know what I’m getting into. Btw, LOOKIN @ you GAMER HEAVEN, keep up the handheld hype brother, the struggle is real when people don’t get the whole I “have 3 things going on around me everytime I’m chillin”💪🤓 Just glad to know that you get it.

[@Ejohns1004]

Whoever decided that the hardware buttons should be where the START and SELECT buttons should be, needs to be demoted to the point where they can't make decisions anymore.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Agreed bro

[@Hiddyn]

I learned that they only did that because of fps mode. The wasd controller has start and select to make it easier to use them in that mode…I’m looking forward to the promised update that allows you to reassign those buttons.

[@bigstv15]

It's really not that bad, literally just remember that the buttons are placed differently

[@Ejohns1004]

@@bigstv15 It wouldn't be "that bad" if there were no buttons there, but there are buttons in the exact spot that everyone universally knows as the spot for the START and SELECT (or START and share on PS5/4) and they put they put those buttons that everyone who's ever played a game with a controller knows should be there in a different, hard to reach spot. That would be like if a car manufacturer took the blinker lever from the left of the steering wheel and put it in the center of the climate control buttons.

[@Ejohns1004]

@@Hiddyn So they changed what everyone universally knows as where these buttons are supposed to go because of a gimmick that only (I'm assuming here) 30 to 40 percent of owners will ever use? That makes it even dumber.

I don't own a handheld but this looks like the best option, and it's just out of the box😂 What about xenia?

[@Analog.Digital]

100% agree with your closing assessment, VRR screen makes a big difference for a power-limited device. With the Ally, playing on a VRR external screen vs without VRR was day& night difference. VRR makes things so much smoother even for titles like Starfield on a portable device on 1080p

[@Alexander_Bahgheera]

Indeed and agreed

[@SunnyDeLite]

i want the controllers just for the mouse feature

[@Weisguy]

lol, man took the longest to get to the review and still found time to shit on the Portal 😂😂😂

[@ichbinscheisse3592]

Aim assist for controller is cheating. Its like a keyboard user using macros to constantly get the best input. Just because your inputmethod is worse doesnt make it not cheating

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

You are the first person I’ve heard call aim assist cheating. Do you think the lines on the road to keep your car going in the right direction make the drive a little too easy?
