Legion Go S (Steamos version) is currently the best handheld gaming PC on the market, but it is not without its issues. As I came to know that when I tested and reviewed it, there are some issues that make it feel like an incomplete port on the operating system. One of those issues lacked Joystick RGB lighting support, but now it is cooked in a new update.
14 July Stam Deck beta client update Legion connects Go to the ability to turn/off the joystick RGB lighting of steamos, choose from certain effects (solid, breath, croma, or rainbow), and adjust the brightness. If you are on the beta update channel and the latest update, you can get these options Settings> adaptation,
It would be good if it would have been the option to enable only lighting when plugged into the hand, as it will definitely take your battery slightly away from life to run the LED. Maybe the valve will add as an alternative to the future.
Earlier, you had to use a third-party plugin to manage RGB lighting, which felt a little in advance to the Ligan GoS Steamos for the operating system port.
Another thing that felt it a little earlier was its shoddy mini trackpad support; I found that it does not work at all in gaming mode (it is not even registered as an input), and when it eventually works in desktop mode it is basically unusable because it sounds like a fickle joystick input compared to one-to-one mouse movement. This problem still persists, so I only show off the Little Trackpad Nubate when I use the handheld.
I think it is saying something about Legion Go that it is still the best hand gaming PC with these problems. But I was probably not the target market for that joystick RGB anyway. I will leave it to maximize that battery life, but I would be a little happy to know that I should change my mind anytime.
