The ULTIMATE ROG Ally Accessory! - JSAUX RGB Docking Station Review

[@MiguelEstrella_]

Love finding a small channel with high quality content. Can’t wait to see you grow

[@freakytechreviews]

Thank you my friend! My goal is for the viewer to sit back and enjoy with solid visuals and audio, and I love hearing the feedback! Welcome to the Fam!

[@KriticullCTRL]

What does high quality matter as long as they give you the info you need or are seeking? Good quality audio is really all that matters along with a solid approach. I swear people hop on YT expecting channels to be on the same level as television broadcasters. LMAO

[@nathancook4474]

Just ordered that doc and used your promo code still on the fence about their case cause i hear power bank is a little lose. But if i end up ordering ill try to remember to use your code for that too. Thank you for helping me decide what dock to buy.

[@freakytechreviews]

Thank you so much and I'm happy this video helped! Once you get the dock let me know what you think of it! JSAUX has been a really surprising company for me to review as their products are not well known, but very solid. I have their Ally cover and clear RGB backplate I'll be reviewing soon so stay tuned!

[@doubleoyimmy1572]

How is it?

[@will3pr]

Love the channel! Just recently subbed and love the content. Straight to the point, concise, and informative. Have been looking to buy an Asus Rog Ally since they released it and now I’m finally able to put a purchase in with Best Buy.

Ok so here’s the deal, I got the ROG ally proprietary dock twice and both burned out on me. I’ve looked at third party replacements and I’m seeing that there are MANY that suffer the same issue. Is this one of them? Also, can you use this with the power brick included in the Ally’s box and still get 30 watt turbo???

[@SimpleSeb225]

So i just got this dock about 2 weeks ago now and i have been noticing that the screen resolution on my tv is not very great. I was wondering if you knew how to fix that. Thanks!

Let me know how it does for you!

[@str8dapper]

Rog official dock wont power up portable monitor on usb or hdmi but direct to ally turns right on

[@123Techit]

If I understand correctly when using JSAUX, it's cap 1080p 120Hz, cap 4k 60Hz, can turn off the RGB (hold 2 secs), can change RGB color, has a cabinet to hold ROG ally, 2 usba3.2, 1 usbc 3.2,1 usba 2.0, 1 ethernet port, 3.5 audio jack, SD, micro SD, HDMI 2.1, 1.4 Display port.

[@jeeeloo1128]

Does it support dual display using dp and hdmi?

[@arijitkar7217]

Can we use sd card on the dock for playing games on the ally when docked??

[@StreamVirtual]

Is it really that good? I was convinced all the reviews on Amazon were fake. I ended up ordering a cheaper one instead of the one I want (this one) because of it.

[@rickyjedai]

Do you think it will also run well for macbook usb hub? It has great value for ports and Display port provided.

[@cfischrun115]

Something with VRR support would be nice. Especially when playing on a device that isn't as powerful as a desktop. I don't like running Vsync.

[@freakytechreviews]

That's a fair point. JSAUX is definitely trying to squish as much as they can into a small form factor so hopefully we will see future ones have that capability.

[@bigbadvicHo]

How can I turn my Rog Ally X screen off when docked and also how can I hair audio through my connected Bluetooth headphones? I’m new to this

[@willtrader1978]

Thank for the great video, so using this dock will fix the sd card hearing issue right? Since you do not need to use the ally sd port?

[@OffGridMac]

Correct, the dock talks louder to the SD card, thus allowing the SD card to hear better

[@SG0041]

The dock only comes with a ucb cable right? I need to get a charger myself?

[@vegaf2011]

I'm trying to figure out what's the output power once its connected directly to ASUS rog ally? while having other things hooked up to it say a midi key keyboard and audio interface will it still provide the 30w power with no exclamation mark on the battery icon

[@Alesslui92]

Sorry I'm really confused - Why do we need to buy a $25+ 65watt wall charger/brick when the Asus Ally came with (in the box) it's own Wallcharger with the usb power cable attached to it?

you need to either duplicate or extend your display in your Windows settings. Simply pluggin it in won't do anything.

Man, I’m having trouble with it. Of course using the rog ally, When I play emulation games it’s so laggy, sound goes off after while and it goes so slow too. I can’t seem to fix it. Any help?

[@freakytechreviews]

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?

[@llVoidZ]

With 100w charger and turbo mode on is this something that could handle 120hz on desktop mode and potentially 120hz for a game like League of Legends. Im considering swapping this out for an ancient desktop setup

[@alhassan_7]

so If I buy 100 w charger I can play in dock mode with full power without thinking about Battery damage??

[@BBSITEAM_0000]

for two monitor need the 100w charger?

[@addictivesnowball1197]

I'm a little confused so you need a minimum 75w brick for the dock, but then can you also charge the Ally simultaneously? How does that work?

[@fear3bk]

The brick powers the dock which in turn powers the ally, I'm guessing.

[@thomasusheriii971]

I'm really considering this dock because I just ordered the Onexfly which has a 120hz display. Will it make a big difference with having a dock supporting 120hz apposed to 60hz?

[@freakytechreviews]

Sorry just saw this! I don't think it will, because I had excellent refresh rate results in my testing. In my eyes, it'll handle anything _below_ those refresh rates so 60Hz shouldn't be a problem at all.

Does this dock’s usb port work for controllers? I’ve read a lot of the docks don’t work with controllers for some reason.

[@freakytechreviews]

It has for me, as when I was using an Xbox controller it had no issues being plugged in and working! Also used a PS5 Dualsense and it worked great.

[@vikingsid]

I just wish this dock didn’t feel so cheaply plastic like and some weight to it.

[@freakytechreviews]

Yeah I definitely agree there. The pop out specifically is not beefy at all. They definitely put everything towards the internals and skimped on the outside to keep the price reasonable.

[@matty2657]

I bought the jsaux hb1201. Everything seems to work great. Except.... It's not charging while docked.....

[@freakytechreviews]

Hmm, I'm sorry to hear that. What wattage of charging block are you using, and do you have the latest update on the Ally?

[@MikeyFrames]

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.

[@fxandrei]

A great option is iVanky docking station. It does 30W turbo mode, and have great support.

Have you experienced battery drainage when playing? I have the same model you had before, but whenever I play something the battery starts to deplete, even when plugged in to a 100W charger. I spoke with JSAUX support and they said I might have a faulty unit, but.. just want to double check

[@freakytechreviews]

Hmm, I haven't had that problem personally. What kind of wall brick are you using? 100W is more then enough, but I wonder if a brand has trouble with it. I think it's worth replacing through JSAUX. Let me know if they give you any issues!

I have a 100W anker brick. I replaced it through JSAUX and still have the same issue. Quite annoying. I'm still in touch with their support, though. @@freakytechreviews

[@misbahulikram3980]

same experience , first time it was worked perfectly but after 1 month it start drain the battery when docked

[@zombiezone2010]

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.
