Perfect Dock for the ROG Ally

This docking station works flawlessly with the ROG Ally. Setup was simple, and it gives me all the ports I need to connect to an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse without any issues. The build quality feels sturdy, and it keeps the Ally secure while charging. HDMI output is smooth with no lag, and the USB ports handle accessories perfectly. It’s a must-have if you want to turn your ROG Ally into a desktop-style setup.

No 30w Turbo Mode so far…

Ive tried everything and no 30 watt turbo mode. Only runs at 25w turbo when docked. Installed all Windows, firmware and MyAsus updates and i even bought the official ASUS charging dock to plug into the Insignia dock and still only get 25w. I do get 30w turbo while playing handheld with the provided 65w adapter so its clearly an issue with the power passthrough on the dock.

It sounds like you've gone through a thorough troubleshooting process to address the issue with your Insignia dock. It's frustrating when you've tried everything and still encounter limitations. Have you reached out to Insignia's customer support or ASUS support to see if they have any additional insights or solutions? Sometimes, they may be able to provide further guidance or offer alternative solutions that could help resolve the issue. If you haven't already, it might be worth contacting them for assistance.

Works great with the Ally z1e. Plently of usb slots to connect accessories.
Beware though, the included charger doesn't provide enough juice to get you to 30w Turbo Mode. Ordered a bigger brick and cable to see if that fixes it.
Grab this when it goes on sale... otherwise, it's just like any other dock you can find online, just almost double the price

XLXF LLC's review of ROG ALLY
|
|
Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
When I purchase a product from ROG, I expect it to be 5 stars. My interpretation of five stars means:
- Ready for Release
- Proper Promotion
- Adequate baseline of knowledge from Salesperson
- Competitive technical standard against other similar products
- I look for Longevity, versatility and durability.
The product was NOT, ready for release. Frames are abysmally lacking for basic RPG's, with excess lag. (Fortnite, Call of duty). For a product like this, being sold commercially at Best Buy, a consumer SHOULD NOT EVER, need to know anything regarding Software Downloads (Ryzen OC, Windows Framework, Optimization, or tweaking in game settings) I should be able to just open up and play. Because it functions on Windows OS, if a user doesn't have a HIGH level of computer literacy- likeliness of return is subsequently extremely high because of the next issue- it should be noted the only game I have comfortably played on it is (Mortal Shell).
Promotion. This was not promoted properly. If so, it would be known, that it needed to be marketed with the consumer knowing they would need a keyboard, mouse, and usb adapter (Which Insignia made a great dock for.) But if their not marketed together then a consumer only understands a single dimension of the products intended application. Just setting up your windows account and that being NECESSARY to even use the device is extremely unappealing and a nightmare to use the on screen keyboard just to log in. (Maybe make a stylus)
Which introduces the next point, IF you DO NOT have Wifi, or Data on your cell phone, then you'll have to find a public network to set the device up on. That should not only have been communicated ON RELEASE, Marketed with that in mind, BUT ABSOLUTELY known and communicated by the retail associates. Unfortunately because of the complexity of these systems, associates seem to be lacking, and no one prompted or encouraged me to even look at the E-GPU (Extended Graphics Processing Unit) Which considers additional enhanced graphical rendering power from from tensor and cuda cores offered by NVIDEA (NOT RYZEN). So unless I do my own research, it seems like the associates are clueless.
Given the lack of information by the associates, I studied the technology and predicated my purchase on the technical aspect of Ryzen's expansion from a 16bit to 32bit expansion for the bus between the CPU and RAM intended to introduce alacrity between exchange of data and expanding bandwidth, this architectural concept being developed in the ATX and other form factors was not implemented from what I can find in the advertised literature OR detect in its design via gameplay. Again, IF YOU MARKET CALL OF DUTY WARZONE, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUST DOWNLOAD AND PLAY WARZONE. Now I have two virtual copies of MW2 and MW3 respectively (69.99) each that I can't even play on this device, Which I purchased for that exact reason. Better technical design from the point of assembly data language becomes crucial and was completely overlooked. Sloppy. I'd sooner just play Warzone mobile on my phone, and then switch to console or buy the Logitech or Lenovo handheld if they roughly perform to the same or better standard. Additionally, Rog is ALREADY planning to release a new model for 2k24/2k25 which shows more technological contemplation should have occurred and the release was rushed.
The preceding point rules out longevity. If the product becomes obsolete within a year, it's fair to say more planning should have gone into the development of the device. I find myself wanting to buy next years release, ONLY because the initial release was SO BAD. I DON'T want to buy a new one every fiscal year, just to find out a new model is being proposed Q3-Q4 of the same year. That's an unhealthy corporate/executive mentality intended to maximize profit, that ironically is the most detrimental business plan in the technological landscape of 2k24. How to lose 75% of your potential consumer demographics in a nutshell: Don't even create a localized (Device to Device) Multiplayer option so the lowest and lower tiers of your socioeconomic bracket without or with limited internet or cellular options cant play. It would take like a week. Lazy Development.
I appreciate its versatility, It can comfortably run just as a desktop supporting multiple monitors. This is great for workflow though, not so much gaming. Pretty Sturdy, would recommend buying the ROG case with it.
On a final note:
Im very dissapointed. I had extremely high expectations for the ROG Ally as I build custom gaming rigs and have used and defaulted to ROG Products. (My favorite being the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS GLACIAL x GUNDAM Edition that I sold to my former business partner.) I have witnessed incredible performance from ASUS but they and I know at a $500-$700 price point a MUCH better product SHOULD and could have been made.

Shouldn't be marketed with the Rog Ally, doesn't handle 30w turbo. Works ok otherwise as a dock & you get "performance" mode. Even when trying a different 100w PD adapter or the 65w OEM adapter (both which work fine on their own), so it seems to be a problem with the power passthrough? Tough call on the recommendation, while, yes it "works", you would expect when docked to get full performance of the Ally.....

Rog Ally screen on the TV, check! Mouse and keyboard connected, check! Still one port left, perhaps for some headphones? This is such a handy companion to have when you can't rely on Bluetooth-only peripherals. And even though the Rog itself comes with a 65W charger, now you can have another one for all your other USB-C devices. Will eventually use the ethernet port if I ever decide to play anything other than old singleplayer games. The ports alone made this the obvious docking station choice for me over the official ASUS branded one.

Been using this since day ine of purchasing my ROG Ally X. It gets the job done but my Ally X fits a little snug, being a little thicker than the original model. It would fit better for an original ROG Ally or a SteamDeck. Other than the uncomfortable tight fit, it works really well with my Samsung TV and turns my portable console into a home console.

I recently grabbed the ASUS Docking Station for my ROG Ally, and it’s been a total game changer. It turns the handheld into a full desktop setup instantly perfect for when I want to switch from gaming on the go to playing on a big screen or getting some work done.
The build quality is solid, and the design fits the ROG aesthetic perfectly. I love that it includes all the ports I need HDMI, USB-A, USB-C, and Ethernet so I can connect a keyboard, mouse, monitor, and wired internet all at once without a hitch.
It’s plug and play, no setup hassle, and everything just works. Whether I’m gaming, streaming, or multitasking, this dock keeps up without any lag or connection drops. If you own a ROG Ally, this dock is basically essential.
