Vibration intensity on Ally X is too high
The power of the vibration motor in the ROG Ally X is pretty extreme. Is there a way to lower the vibration strength globally (without per-game settings), rather than needing to turn it off entirely?
This is with the latest (v310) MCU firmware from Asus.

ah, I found it - under "controller" I need to set "hardware limits" to "manual" instead of "default"

Yes in the handheld daemon menu it's under calibration
Since a lot of people are having this feedback, can you suggest a better level?
For default
I think around 50% would be nice

60% is a good level.
on the ally X I also found decreasing the stick minima and increasing the maxima useful
I will keep that in mind, some devices need those limits to be that low
So they are aggressively set
the sticks on mine are really tight - the default deadzones were way too big
I ended up in a situation where pushing did nothing and then suddenly jolted way off
so fine movements were hard or impossible
that's a relatively minor problem though. The vibration being like a bomb going off was much worse
the motors are extremely powerful and I doubt anyone would be happy with the default 100% power on this device
anyway thanks for giving me the courage to change the "controller calibration" to "manual"
I didn't intuitively expect an option for the rumble intensity to be in there
(side note: I think the PS Edge controller type is better than the xbox type for Steam use, because that way you can map the bumper buttons)
I know, vibration intensity was an afterthought
We will tweak the limits as time goes on
Yes dualsense used to be the default but to have a better onboarding experience we changed it to Xbox
that's fair.
noticed the HHD commit fixing this; thanks again!
