Control to activate/deactivate RGB lights for new ROG Ally gaming handheld

[hifihedgehog]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The new ROG Ally has two RGB zones. 1. RGB ring on the left joystick. 2. RGB ring on the right joystick. Currently, there is no toggle to select only 1 or 2 zones to light up. The app toggles light for all at once.

Describe the solution you'd like Similar to #326. "A simple check box in extra tab to select the light zones that the user wants to activate. It would be useful if these could be linked with 'plugged in' feature to automatically toggle zone controls when connected to power."

Describe alternatives you've considered No alternatives considered.

Additional context It is still a few weeks yet until release but the above is the information I have so far from the launch reviews and reviewers. I am connecting with some reviewers to see who can contribute in whatever manner possible. Also, I pointed the developers of Handheld Companion to G-Helper which should be useful for them if they opt to add a battery charge limiter as well.

@hifihedgehog looks like a topic to brag that you already have hands on Rog Ally :)))

I don't know how the zones are controlled here. If you have device - try to find all USB device IDs for manufacturer ID 0x0b05

Haha! I wish! 😊 I am operating on information I have gathered from those who do have direct access to the Ally like The Phawx.

I help moderate the r/ROGAlly Discord server who has some reviewers on there who have the Ally in hand. I will drop them a line and report back ASAP!

Thanks! What is the best way to filter and output all these USB device IDs to you? I am trying to guide a reviewer along the process. I am familiar with manually parsing through Device Manager for this information but if there is a quicker way, such as via PowerShell script, that would be preferred.

@hifihedgehog https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/usb_devices_view.html this anciently looking app can do the job

That does the trick quite nicely! Here is what I got from one of the reviewers. Let me know if this does the trick! USB_Devices_List.zip

@hifihedgehog ok, thanks. I think needed IDs are already in app (that's why it affects both joysticks ) :) How does it works with armoury ? it it separate controls for each joystick ?

Just checked. It is one RGB control for both sticks, so the lighting changes the same on both joysticks when the RGB control is modified.

@hifihedgehog well, what do you expect from g-helper then ? :) it will control it in same way as armoury does, cause this is how it's routed on hardware level
