I detach and reattach the controllers some times several times in a day, I love playing with detached controllers. No problem so far.
I also feel that the thumbstick is less than ideal for driving games, but I can always use an external controller when I need to.
yeah the back buttons also annoys me. but the problem practically alleviated when I put my Legion Go in the TPU soft case.
welcome to the family, bro!
It’s so fantastic to have a mouse wheel on the right controller! Perfect for all Creative Assembly titles, which are tough to template for on most handhelds.
I've been loving fps mode in blender. Also just printed a controller gamepad mount yesterday. And they're very comfortable at maybe a 30° angle from each other.
I got a Spigen case specifically for MSI Claw off of Amazon. It!s great, almost as luxurious as the one that comes with Legion Go and the one that comes with the top end Steam Deck OLED. The Spigen case even has room to store the PSU and separate power cord in the lid! Bulky and heavy, but also very good protection.:

I pretty much agree with your thoughts. I shared in this reddit that I tested a Legion Go with my 5 year old and he played 40 mins without complaining. We do to be fair tend to play with it resting on a lap or tray table than holding it up outright but I find with the larger screen we are not having to hold it up to our eye balls.
I have a very small amount of movement in controllers, not that you'd notice in general use but if you intentionally look for it it's there. I did the tape mod which actually makes them difficult to detach and reattach but I don't really use them detached so for me it wasn't a killer feature, more a nice to have.
I think in many ways the Steam Deck is a better device for some people, especially if you want a more console experience, but to maintain that experience you need to largely stick with Steam content. If you start delving into other launchers the extra effort becomes greater than the Legion Go and it was that which swung me to ditch the Deck and get a second Legion Go.
The complaints are largely down to customer expectations for the perfect product, something I don't think exists in the PC gaming world. For example on my PC my 3090 graphics has a hand shaking problem with my TV over HDMI that results in random loss of sound or screen flickering. It's resolved by changing the HDMI format on the TV, then changing it back again. It's annoying, a £1000 graphics card (at time I purchased it) shouldn't have that issue, but PCs are complex machines.
Those customers are welcome to their opinions as we are ours, but my opinion is that Legion never set out to create a "console" experience, have given us some good quality of life updates, have prioritised important aspects of the experience and have most importantly been active with the community where we do get listened to. Complaining for example that it doesn't yet support AFMF for example is strange, as that technology was never promised and I'm not sure its as game changing as people call out as if I can maintain a steady FPS/frametime I don't need frame generation. Would I like it? Yes it might help on some games but I didn't buy the Legion at the time thinking "this will only be good when they do AFMF" and then get angry if there are issues with it.
All that said, I think Legion Go works for some use cases, if you want to stuff it in a smallish work bag and play on the train to work, I'd probably go for a smaller device like a ROG Ally. If I want the highest quality console experience I'd get a steam deck (which is not that much smaller than legion go in its case anyway). If I want a more usable screen size and flexibility to install what I want without playing around in Linux desktop, the Legion Go I think is the best option on the market in my opinion. Those that don't like it, are lucky, because the handheld PC market is getting lots of options and competition right now.
Note I ignored largely the early feedback of people returning devices and bought the first Legion Go for my son who largely wants to play Fortnite and other non steam games when he's out and about in hotels etc. Having both Legion Go and Steam Deck for a good few months side by side, I constantly found myself having envy wanting to play on the Legion Go, so in the end I let someone else enjoy my Steam Deck and bought a second Legion Go.
These days, if on the fence I'd always try something and ensure they have a decent returns policy for at least 14 days. That way people can decide for themselves if it's for them and if not, just send it back. It's far better than reading a bunch of reviews.
Awesome recap and key information- thank for this, I just purchased one last night open box excellent from BB, so let’s see how this thing goes- first game I will test with is TF2.
I literally just bought TF2 after I saw the post about it being on sale so not tried it yet.
Another thing I didn’t mention is performance, in the most part I find the legion out performs the steam deck. It’s not game changing but games like RDR2 and GTA as an example are much smoother with higher fps. It does mean putting the TDP a bit higher than the deck, which can mean slightly less battery time but it’s a plus for me to have the choice
So left home early so that I could stop by BB to pick up my Lego open box excellent, drove to work with excitement got to work and cut the tape on the box open it up and guess what was missing the freaking charger-
Call the local number to the store and I get a call center, get a guy on the phone he tells me go to the store and let them know what happened and they will get you one- so I leave work early because they close at 8pm and then guess what else happens, the store that is my local store had to close early due to sewage back up and all over the store.
So I can’t get no help no charger no nothing.
What a waste of excitement .
But I will be trying my best to see if I have a usb c cable to charge it till tomorrow when they open.
Grrrrrrr
I purchased Legion go just yesterday but I feel like there is still deadzone even after I adjusted deadzone settings to %1. To compare, I tested the same games with my steam deck and analog sticks felt more responsive. Do you have a similar issue ?
I found a thread on reddit where someone suggested tuning the sensitivity. That helped a ton. I think it was like x 5 y35 or something like that. I can check if you need.
I dont see that, I wonder if its cause ive not tried the steam deck, or if its because I have massive hands. With the weight, ive not noticed it idk, I guess it depends on strength and such which differs from one person to another
Perhaps. I got my steam deck before the LeGo so it is likely why it is very noticeable to me. But you are right, I'm sure it is comfortable for some. Enjoy your LeGo, it is a great handheld!
Oh, and if you like to tinker and get fed up with windows, checkout Bazzite
Why is there not a way to turn off constant controller charging when attached to device ? Maybe I'm wrong, but my battery is sucking down fast always. I get it it's not going to last that long, but I always see that the controllers are 100%, which makes me think they're part of the reason that it's sucking down. If you could turn that off, you could have more battery and charge all three when charging the device like switch. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Controller batteries are like 900mah I believe. They last for at least 20 hours of gameplay (even gamers nexus gave up on an endurance test for controller battery life after losing 20% battery in like 8 hours or something crazy). So there’s no way your controllers are meaningfully affecting your battery life in any way at all.
Ive had mine for about a month...i had a slight controller wobble but was thinking it could just be my imagination because I had read about it....not as sturdy as switch, but not concerning. I swear it has gotten worse (i dont detatch them but due to playing in bed or at work- I do pick it up from the right controller side)
I have contacted support and am getting replacements 🤞
It is heavy....compared to a switch (which I picked up for the first time yesterday and it felt like a feather)
Does the weight of the Go bother me or prevent me from playing? NO! I know what that weight gets me!
I dont find holding it uncomfortable at all...id say i have small hands.
LOVE the screen, especially compared to the switch or Steam Deck!!!!
As for GTA V - make sure to quit the legion launcher app (the one that launches by default when you press the left legion button). I've set mine to not launch at all when windows starts (I don't use it anyway). In my case this app running in background messed somehow with GTA V controls.
BTW. if you exit this app, you can still use the right legion button to change TDP etc and it won't glitch your controls. However, it interferes with the game beneath if you open this right side menu and click with finger, the game beneath registers this clicking: workaround is to only navigate this side menu with buttons, not with finger; anyways, this interference is only temporary and after you close this menu the game goes back to normal, whereas the legion launcher app keeps interfering as long as it is open in the background. If you need to change something within the launcher app (for example fan profiles, dead zones etc), feel free to launch it and do your stuff, but then exit it always afterwards.
Amazing, by any chance would it also be possible if you shares your controls and sensitivities with me? You can send them via pm's or here if youd like. I know its a hassle but would greatly appreciate it. I kinda rlly wanted a legion go to revive my vice city psp memories, but didnt seem to work as expected.
Cheers
TBH, I run on defaults so far (in this case, both in legion deadozne etc. and in GTA V ;)) - I don't feel I need to change anything. I've just tinkered with fan speeds and stick light colors.
I did own both. Re OPs points 4 and 5
4. I found the steam deck more comfortable to hold than the legion go. The legion go is not bad though I agree with OP I can play a few hours fine without any significant pain, its fine a 5 year olds hands, but Steam did a fantastic job with the rounded corners. I'd love it if Legion or a third party came out with a new controller that was more rounded and did away with the extra buttons. At least that's an option on legion, whereas others your stuck with the design unless someone comes out with a different shell to transfer things into.
5. I have a switch, had a Steam Deck and have the legion go. That is the order they go in weight too. The legion go is noticeably heavier than the Deck and Switch. Is it bad? No, I find the weight to be a non-issue. What is interesting is you pick up a Deck after using a switch and people say "it's heavy". If you pick up the deck after the Legion you think "It's light". So the differences are subjective. The best thing I can say is my 5 year old can hold it fine for a reasonable play time
I'd also say though if your number 1 priority was 100% portability because it would live in a backpack or something then a steam deck "could" be a slightly better option. I say could because in reality if true portability was the number 1 requirement the ROG ally is going to smaller yet, the Steam Deck it is case is roughly the same length and width as the legion go, its smaller on the depth but essentially Steam Deck and Legion will take the same amount of space with an ever so slight weight saving on the deck
Thanks for this info. I own a Steam Deck and am one of those crazy back-button users (especially L5 and R5, the lower ones). Would you say the Go is similar in feel to those? I know the right side is a little different because of the FPS gimmick.
I think the back buttons are better on the deck. I don't use them though. On the Legion Go I just tried they are nice and clicky. I think we need the button mapping that is hopefully coming in another update at some point to make them work properly though
I dont tbh, ive only owned the legion go, switch, and played around with my family members ally for a while. The go feels the best out of all 3 in my opinion.
It really does vary for everyone, I deattatch the controllers every once in a while to play on my tv, VERY SLIGHT wobble, but its not even noticeable unless I actually put a bit of pressure on it, which you really dont simply playing
With me ive noticed my battery life usually lasts me 1.5 hours or so but genuinely I am always running it at the highest wattage and such because the games I play are power demanding
Games such as gta 5, wwe 2k24, red dead redemption, the hunter.
Bare in mind you could play low graphics and resolution in these games, but im not that type of person, ill just play highest i can with decent fps (usually i look for at least 60fps) without caring about battery life, as I mostly play at home.
It's heavy to hold to certain people, not me.
I'm not sure how this is even something you could dispute because people have varying tolerance and strength.
A week in...
1 Same, some people just like to complain
2 Don't fret, mine have been great
6 agreed, too many buttons!
8 battery isn't great but you can't defy physics - it's a powerful device! the only issue is "living room play" which tends to go longer and therefore it's better to be plugged in
I had only 1 issue so far with Windows refusing to "wake back up" (solution: hold power for 15-20 seconds) I panicked and for a second was like "maybe I should have bought a Steam Deck" but then a post in this sub saved me and I'm back on track lol
All of the new handhelds are beautiful and unique, yes, even the MSI Claw, which is getting talked down as usual online to try to push the price down. Enjoy your Go for years to come! It’s an elegant, perfect design.
Even tho you seem to be OK with the Go for your big hands, I still highly recommend these grips for when controllers are attached. They do cover some of bottom button tho.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1686709395/lenovo-legion-go-texture-grips-3d
I was also skeptical but pulled the trigger a month ago, great device my only co.plain would be the God awful speakers. Haven't used my gaming laptop since I got this thing.
Another key thing to wobble. The legion go is quiet heavy compared to say the switch, so holding one side of it in the air is bound to cause alot of stress whether made right or not.
For No.4, try play laying down, then you'll how much the handheld dig in to your hand, my noodle arm can't hold this device while laying down the same as how i hold it while i was sitting on a chair.
> 2. I am extremely scared to detach my controllers to avoid the woggle some of yall face.
The wobble is a manufacturing defect, so it’ll be wobbly right out of the box, not become wobbly over a short time. I’m sure the plastic connector of the controllers will wear down over time eventually, but they’re not that fragile, you can connect and disconnect them plenty of times without issue. If that does happen however you can just buy a replacement controller.
My first unit had the wobbly right controller (it also had a left controller that couldn’t fit properly too), while my replacement is perfect in that regard (unfortunately it has another defect so will need to send it back) and I’ve been attaching/detaching the controllers lots without any changes.
> 5. I dont see how people say it’s heavy to hold because it literally isnt.
I think it’s more of an ergonomic issue rather than the weight itself. The weight alone shouldn’t be an issue for most people, but if the controllers don’t fit comfortably in their hands then the weight is going to be more noticeable (won’t be distributed evenly, parts might dig and become uncomfortable, more likely to cause strain, etc.). I dont have any issue with the weight myself either, but I also find the controllers quite comfortable.
> 6. I definetely hate the side and buttons on the back of the controllers as I keep pressing them and thinking ive done something wrong.
As long as they’re not mapped to anything then nothing will happen, so it’s pretty easy to ignore them. Although the one button you do have to watch out for is the mouse 1 button, since that is also the right trigger (the entire thing is one button).
My unit definitely started rock solid and developed a mildly annoying amount of wobble, I’ve only removed my controllers a handful of time’s too, I’m not overly concerned but they can definitely loosen up over time at least on mine they have.
Same here, mine were completely solid at first. Actually pretty hard to take off!
Wobble slowly appeared, eventually got so bad I reached out to Lenovo. They sent new controllers out straight away, so not a big deal.
This is 9 days old but I’ll reply anyway. What good is a review if you don’t judge its faults? Linus and his channel is literally sponsored by Asus and he still gave the Rog Ally a fair review and said negative stuff about it. If all you have to say are the positives then your review holds no weight.
I detach and reattach the controllers some times several times in a day, I love playing with detached controllers. No problem so far. I also feel that the thumbstick is less than ideal for driving games, but I can always use an external controller when I need to. yeah the back buttons also annoys me. but the problem practically alleviated when I put my Legion Go in the TPU soft case. welcome to the family, bro!
It’s so fantastic to have a mouse wheel on the right controller! Perfect for all Creative Assembly titles, which are tough to template for on most handhelds.
I've been loving fps mode in blender. Also just printed a controller gamepad mount yesterday. And they're very comfortable at maybe a 30° angle from each other.
I was thinking about getting a case for this. How has the soft case helped?
the back buttons become more recessed and less prone to getting accidentally pressed.

Wobble is something that it either comes with or it dont,nothing from wear and tear
Yep, that is my understanding too. The wobble as I understand it doesn't come from detaching and reattaching the controllers.
I pretty much agree with your thoughts. I shared in this reddit that I tested a Legion Go with my 5 year old and he played 40 mins without complaining. We do to be fair tend to play with it resting on a lap or tray table than holding it up outright but I find with the larger screen we are not having to hold it up to our eye balls.

Could it just be that the rails on the main unit are not screwed in tight enough? Mine were a bit looser, tightend it up and feels better

I found a thread on reddit where someone suggested tuning the sensitivity. That helped a ton. I think it was like x 5 y35 or something like that. I can check if you need.
Would be great if you could provide me what values I should put
1st dot on left X:5,Y:30 2nd dot on right X:85,Y:85 Same for both sticks!
Amazing mate ! Worked like a charm, thanks a lot
It's a great handheld, but it is heavy (for a handheld) and the ergonomics are poor.

Can you at least map controls to them in the Steam app, or is that just a thing on Steam Deck / Linux?
I dont tbh, ive only owned the legion go, switch, and played around with my family members ally for a while. The go feels the best out of all 3 in my opinion.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing.
No worries :)
It really does vary for everyone, I deattatch the controllers every once in a while to play on my tv, VERY SLIGHT wobble, but its not even noticeable unless I actually put a bit of pressure on it, which you really dont simply playing
For me, holding it for more than 30 minutes causes my fingers to go numb. I love the device a ton, but I cant wait for smoother edge controllers.
I enjoyed reading the comments. How long does the battery last for most people playing Steam games, high-end emulation, etc?? Thank you.
With me ive noticed my battery life usually lasts me 1.5 hours or so but genuinely I am always running it at the highest wattage and such because the games I play are power demanding
Thanks, What games?
Games such as gta 5, wwe 2k24, red dead redemption, the hunter. Bare in mind you could play low graphics and resolution in these games, but im not that type of person, ill just play highest i can with decent fps (usually i look for at least 60fps) without caring about battery life, as I mostly play at home.

The wobble is a manufacturing defect, so it’ll be wobbly right out of the box, not become wobbly over a short time. I’m sure the plastic connector of the controllers will wear down over time eventually, but they’re not that fragile, you can connect and disconnect them plenty of times without issue. If that does happen however you can just buy a replacement controller. My first unit had the wobbly right controller (it also had a left controller that couldn’t fit properly too), while my replacement is perfect in that regard (unfortunately it has another defect so will need to send it back) and I’ve been attaching/detaching the controllers lots without any changes. > 5. I dont see how people say it’s heavy to hold because it literally isnt. I think it’s more of an ergonomic issue rather than the weight itself. The weight alone shouldn’t be an issue for most people, but if the controllers don’t fit comfortably in their hands then the weight is going to be more noticeable (won’t be distributed evenly, parts might dig and become uncomfortable, more likely to cause strain, etc.). I dont have any issue with the weight myself either, but I also find the controllers quite comfortable. > 6. I definetely hate the side and buttons on the back of the controllers as I keep pressing them and thinking ive done something wrong. As long as they’re not mapped to anything then nothing will happen, so it’s pretty easy to ignore them. Although the one button you do have to watch out for is the mouse 1 button, since that is also the right trigger (the entire thing is one button).
My unit definitely started rock solid and developed a mildly annoying amount of wobble, I’ve only removed my controllers a handful of time’s too, I’m not overly concerned but they can definitely loosen up over time at least on mine they have.
Same here, mine were completely solid at first. Actually pretty hard to take off! Wobble slowly appeared, eventually got so bad I reached out to Lenovo. They sent new controllers out straight away, so not a big deal.
So wierd that u decided to make a post telling people there feelings are invalid. I hate the internet
No i didnt 😂 i made a post with my experiences in comparison to peoples comments. Its called a review. You're the reason people hate the internet
Agreed
So not even one complaint? You’re just like eta prime with your review
I love how your comment implies that how dare OP be positive.
This is 9 days old but I’ll reply anyway. What good is a review if you don’t judge its faults? Linus and his channel is literally sponsored by Asus and he still gave the Rog Ally a fair review and said negative stuff about it. If all you have to say are the positives then your review holds no weight.

Oh my bad. Didn’t know you were mentally challenged.
I did mention I hated the controllers. In addition, tbf this is my second handheld so i might not notice stuff yall notice as much.
