In this video, we test out several mods to upgrade the ROG Ally, including:
- Double battery life (battery mod)
- Hall effect analog sticks
- Installing SteamOS (BazziteOS)
- Upgrading internal storage with an M2 2280 NVMe adapter (1TB)
- Using the internal 2230 NVMe as external storage
- Replacing the back plate and adding case covers

Watch to see if these mods are worth it and how you can install them yourself!
