A ROG Ally controller app that goes beyond button mapping.
Handheld Companion connects the controller, motion sensor, power controls and per-game preferences that normally live in separate utilities. The result is a consistent layer across Steam, emulators, remote play and native Windows games.

Before you switch
A clean setup beats conflicting utilities.
Update ASUS firmware, Windows and graphics drivers before diagnosing controller or sensor behavior.
Avoid enabling two controller-remapping or hotkey services at the same time; duplicate inputs usually mean overlapping tools.
Keep a default profile conservative, then tune TDP and motion one game at a time so changes are easy to trace.
Straight answers
ROG Ally questions, answered.

Can Handheld Companion control TDP on ROG Ally?
Handheld Companion exposes TDP and Auto TDP controls through QuickTools, with global and per-game profile settings. Available controls can depend on firmware, drivers and the current software build.
Is Handheld Companion an Armoury Crate alternative?
It covers many handheld-focused controller, profile, motion, hotkey and power tasks. Keep OEM firmware tools available and avoid running overlapping controller or hotkey services until you have verified your preferred setup.
