Asus unveiled the ROG Ally X20, an ultra-premium handheld with a new 7.4-inch OLED panel, translucent retro chassis and upgraded controls to celebrate Republic of Gamers' 20th anniversary. It addresses longstanding calls for OLED while adding TMR joysticks, a rotatable D-pad and a dedicated cooling system for the display.

Joysticks now use TMR (Tuning Magneto-Resistive) sensor technology, presented as even more precise and durable than Hall-effect sensors with surgical responsiveness for micro-movements.

The D-pad can rotate 90 degrees, delivering four classic directions in standard position or eight-way movement when rotated for combos and quarter-circles in fighting games.
