Sweary peripheral experts Dbrand sent me the Asus ROG Xbox Ally/Xbox Ally X version of their Project Killswitch case yesterday. I squeezed my Xbox Ally X into it. It was great. Sturdy. Form-fitting. Protective and grip-enhancing in one. Everything that makes the original Killswitch one of the best Steam Deck accessories, wrapped snugly around 800 quid of Windows handheld.

It also annoys me, a little bit. Not the skin and cover themselves. More the fact that it’s so important that they exist, as neither ROG Xbox Ally models – costly as they can be – bother to include a carrying case in the box. Nor does the original Ally and Ally X, or the Zotac Zone, or the MSI Claw 8 AI+, or the Lenovo Legion Go and Legion Go S. Give me a case, you plastic jerks. Give it!
