Just got one. How long is battery off charger? Assuming 1.5-2 hours?
https://github.com/Valkirie/HandheldCompanion Might take a little bit to figure everything out(bind the Quick Tools to a back button or something first), but worth it, helps get a lot more out of the battery

Made a standalone DS4 emulator, now you can play emulators with motion control, and PS Remote official app also should work.
Update: PS Remote offcial app does not work: https://github.com/Valkirie/HandheldCompanion/issues/389, use Chiaki instead

How Many Weeks Does It Take To Fix The Simple Deadzone Issue?
This is an AC issue. As much as I like the Ally, asus really misses the mark when it comes to software. Check out handheld companion, i have the deadzones set at 2% and can finally navigate the desktop with decent precision. Also has access to the gyros, customizable hotkeys, power control (with autotdp), per game profiles, and built in rtss stats display. Only thing its missing is fan control - for which I use GHelper (single exe, you can close it once you set your fans up). Oh also its updated regularly.
