Hi there - love my XBOX ROG ALLY X and have been a previous owner of the ROG ALLY X for about a year. One of the best features I loved about the original ROG ALLY X was that it was nearly seemless to transition from a game back to desktop/desktop apps with the "Auto" Control setting in Command Center. As soon as I exit a game or transition back to the windows desktop, the right analogue stick would emulate the mouse movement and RB/RT the left and right click. This way I don't need to rely on touch screen or dirty it. Also, it seems the per game profiles for controls, graphics and TDP settings were tied to the "Auto" toggle being on in Command Center.
The XBOX ROG ALLY X Auto control setting unfortunately doesn't work properly. If you have it set to Auto and exit the XBOX FSE or leave a game or just in general have it set to Auto when in the Windows desktop - it does not register. I suspect this is actually the cause of a lot of people complaining losing "controls" sometimes too when transitioning from a desktop app in FSE back to Xbox App in FSE. What is strange is that if you open a web browser, it works. However, when going to the windows desktop from FSE, or just the desktop in general from any game - it doesn't trigger. A byproduct of this is not being able to leave it in Auto reliably and therefore the per game settings of graphics, TDP can't be used. Just as an FYI - Auto does work for Gamepad mode (if toggled, it works as gamepad in FSE or games/apps). It just doesn't for Desktop mode (except for a web browser of edge for now).
The current work around is to having to manually switch via command center between gamepad mode and desktop mode - however this is just so many extra button clicks or touch screen gestures which used to be seamless on the ROG ALLY X vs the XBOX ALLY X.
Can we get someone from ASUS to comment on this at least to acknowledge it is something that is being reviewed to be patched/fixed?
