From My Soul, To Your ScreenFrom My Soul, To Your Screen

The story behind Handheld Ally — a dream turned reality through 7 months of pure passion.

I'm a handheld enthusiast and a tinkerer by soul. I was always dreaming about a place where we could all connect and share this hobby... the handheld way of gaming, anywhere, anytime.

My journey began with my first handheld PC — the Steam Deck LCD. From there, I went on a handheld adventure: ASUS ROG Ally, then Legion Go, Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally X, and now I'm back to Legion Go because I really need that bigger screen for a more immersive feeling. Who knows what my next device will be!

It took me 7 months of passion to build this place for us. This isn't a faceless company; it's my full-time devotion to a community I love. Every feature, every optimization, every interaction has been crafted with one goal in mind: to give fellow tinkerers the tools and community they deserve.

I searched everywhere for guidance but found no centralized resource for handheld optimization. Fellow enthusiasts were scattered across forums, Reddit, and Discord — all asking the same questions. That's when I realized I could build something better, and I hope later on I could do my own reviews right here too!

These principles guide every decision in building Handheld Ally

Community Connection

This will always be about community and sharing game settings. I will never start creating the "perfect settings" - Handheld Ally connects handheld users together to share their discoveries.

Copy & Play or Compete

If you want to just copy and play, so be it! But if you want to compete and create the best settings, you're in the right place! Everyone's approach is welcome here.

Real Gamers, Real Solutions

I built this platform for real tinkerers with real handheld devices. Every setting comes from actual gameplay experience, not theoretical optimization.

Always Learning

I'm still discovering new handhelds myself - who knows what my next device will be! We're all learning together in this amazing handheld gaming journey.
