However, the original Ally isn’t getting left behind.
This shows me that ASUS intends to continue to focus on its original equipment for some time.
The improved Armoury Crate SE 1.5 user interface is now on ROG Ally.
But just what does Armoury Crate SE 1.5 do that the original launcher doesn’t?
Let’s go over the changes and discuss whether or not it’s a good update.
Once it’s restarted, you might check out the new UI for yourself.
If your ROG Ally hasn’t automatically updated to the new Armoury Crate, you’ll want to manually update it.
This will make it so you don’t have to adjust controls each time you launch a different title.
You bring it up pressing the lower button on the left side of the screen.
You likely won’t find yourself using this tab unless you encounter a problem or are bored.

But it’s there if you need it.
After that, there’s a tab for displaying your screenshots.
By default, game screenshots are listed from newest to oldest.
Games can also be shows in List view.(Image credit: Rebecca Spear / Windows Central)
The most annoying thing is that it seems that you cannot select multiple screenshots when attempting to share.
I’d much prefer it if email was also an option.
Lastly, the final tab in Armoury Crate takes you to Global Services.

It is by no means necessary, but it can provide peace of mind for ROG Ally owners.
I’ll be the first to say that the new interface could do with a few updates and refinements.
The buttons and joysticks have also been upgraded to provide a better playing experience.
