Let’s go over all the highlights (good and bad) on the legion go from a Chinese reviewer who recently uploaded a video, starting with eGPU support!!! Yes he got a rtx 3060 ti to work with it!!! Also some quick ROG ally comparisons in the video too!
Working on some alternate software for use with the Lenovo legion go! Between 3d printed accessories, programming, and content creation this device is going to keep me BUSY.
Legion go controllers connected to another windows PC… shows up as two Xbox controllers!! They work like joycons out of the box!!! Crazy. I’ll talk more about it in my video I’m making.
First partially successful prints done!!! Legion go controller accessory is one step closer to the finish line. Adjustments needed: make the middle part wider, add the lock mechanism feature so they don’t slide off. Overall the dimensions are just about on point!
@LenovoLegion
Really great legion space update

Feeling blessed! Shout out to

, they came through and got me a Legion Go, thank you! In other news, newer legion gos have a blue tape on the trackpad film to indicate it needs to be removed.
Here is the
@Lenovo
legion go with a eGPU! Yes it is recognized! Driver is installing in the background. NOTE: the default balanced power plan has pcie power state at max power savings by default!!!! This will make your gpu pcie connection slow. Turn it off for plugged in.

@jsauxofficial
omnicase 2 dock works BEAUTIFULLY with the Lenovo legion go
2. My 3d printed grip needs adjustments 😅
aww yeah! manuals are up on lenovo website for the legion go! Let's go over what info is in here. Some interesting things like pairing with android/ios, 30W tdp in legion space, disassembly instructions! A thread. Link:
Pumped to share some first look images of the new official Legion Go dock!
This is one of our community's most-requested Legion go accessories. Available soon on the official Lenovo website.
Did anyone else catch the tdp adjustment shortcut in the latest legion space update? Legion R button and dpad up and down adjusts tdp by 1W, neat!!!
@LenovoLegion
go is getting better and better!
Happy new year everyone! How’s your legion go setup looking? Here’s mine! Laptop/steam deck stand works great for legion go. 34” usb c capable monitor gives it power, and takes usb and video.
Hey
@Lenovo
@LenovoLegion
! If you ever want help with legion space for the legion go… I’m always available! I made a ADLX dll to toggle gpu scaling, set scaling mode to full panel, and toggle integer scaling. I can now fully control integer scaling via c# on legion go
Updating bios to 23Jan version. This has the auto vram option. Remember, if you update the bios you’ll have a black screen for about 2 minutes! Don’t panic! I’ll let you all know how the auto vram works.
Go update legion space! It looks like the deadzone update is out. Thanks to u/HandsomeCrook on Reddit! I’ve been in the beta test channel for a few days now and deadzone fix is just what we needed!
Got tracking info for my legion go!
@BestBuy
is shipping from Georgia to upstate NY! Good chance I won’t get it until Wednesday though. I saw on Reddit they are shipping some from NY which is weird… why Georgia for me? Either way we are almost there!
Some updates for legion space! (I can’t tell if this is the beta preview or not 😅)
1. Driver downloader built into the software! Nice!
2. Fan curve control under performance
New legion space update is rolling out! Credit to Reddit user remedizegaming! Much better layout! Too bad I left for work already otherwise I would post some of my own pictures! This looks SO much better!
This is great news! Toggle for auto starting legion space is now in the menu, everything is snappier, and the right legion space button is just the right menu!
Hey everyone! I got a couple YT friends who have received/going to receive a legion go review unit, what’s your burning technical questions! I will try to get them in. EGPU and controller connection when wireless are top of my list!
First Lenovo legion go 3D printed controller combiner accessory is off! Need to optimize the orientation for the small features. It might need to be two parts combined together which will eliminate supports.
Made some more adjustments to my legion go controller accessory!
@LenovoLegion
@Lenovo
Need to fine tune with some caliper measurements, but it shouldnt take much effort to finish the model for 3d print testing!
The
@jsauxofficial
case looks like it will fit the legion go nicely! Here is the one X player 2, another chunky device and there is slack on the usb c cable, should work perfectly!
You know how you can use Nintendo Switch joycons separately for some games, like this?
Did you know the legion go controllers can do this too?
See comments for more details!
More Legion Go news!!!
@theetaprime
confirmed in his video that the controllers do connect to a microcontroller via 2.4 GHz and don’t use the Bluetooth chip that the OS has control over! That’s great news!

Here's a huge Roadmap update for the Legion Go by product manager Ben Myers where he discusses future updates, changes and more. It's a very good list of things the community has been asking for. Read it here.
#LegionGo
So I just got my gpd g1 eGPU, and I’m really excited to try this on the legion go. We don’t know if eGPU will work, but it has usb4 and this gpd g1 works really good with the amd usb4 devices. I definitely want to be one of the first to try.
@LenovoLegion
@Lenovo
I’m seeing all the posts of people receiving their Lenovo legion go and I’m so excited! I’m having big FOMO feelings 😂 My
@BestBuy
order will probably arrive tomorrow. I tried two local BB, they said they had them and then didn’t. No chance for today!
Less than 4 weeks until the Legion Go lands! Whats the first thing you are going to try? For me: eGPU!!! It’s burning question whether it will work flawlessly with the GPD G1.
More one day for Lenovo Legion Go US preorders! So far it’s looking like Best Buy and Microcenter are doing preorders tomorrow, but based on other regions seeing preorders start there is a good chance we will see US based Lenovo website preorders open.
Shoutout to the
@microcenter
employee who helped me look at the legion go when I went in to check it out. This guy was passionate about handheld gaming and was happy to help out. What better way to sell stuff than hire passionate employees. Great experience!
This is great news! I’m entered into the beta program so after tomorrow I’ll get the new updates. I’m also going to help provide feedback for the software!
Legion Go deadzone fix video is live. Testing out the new legion space that is due to update tomorrow publically.
Legion Go deadzone issue is fixed! New joystick response curves!
If you signed up for Lenovo emails you’ll see the legion go in their latest email! Coming soon to preorder! Remember they have free return shipping and returns up to 30 days.
Hey everyone! If you are still interested in the one X gpu for your legion go, one netbook sent me this offer link to get the one X gpu at $599 price (currently at $649).
New legion go bios is out on China Lenovo website, will come to US site in the next couple days. You can download here:
Notable updates:
6 GB VRAM

More news! It was mentioned in eta prime video but
@_BenjaminGreen
confirmed on discord about legion game store having legion go specific discounts! That’s awesome!
Call of duty modern warfare 3 for legion go: I’ve tested both steam and battle net versions, and with the latest legion go gpu driver I have better stability on battle net!
Soooo day 2 legion go went like this: visual studio wasn’t working correctly. Adobe premier rush wasn’t working correctly. Battle net launcher hated me and wouldn’t launch cod launcher. So I reset the legion go. Surprisingly it was pretty painless.
Someone on Reddit got 32GB legion go going! Awesome!!!! Remember… this is far from an easy task to do unless you are very familiar with 100+ BGA IC reflowing. If you have to ask what any of that is, this is not something you should do.
Legion go video now with subtitles! Shoutout to
@Leo_The_Silva
for pointing this out to me, and
@DiegoSanchase
for updating me on the English subtitles! You two are awesome!
More AMA updates!!!! A 🧵. Canada and USA getting Lenovo ultimate support with their units for one year! It means quick unit turn around and fast support response. Great news!
Legion go spec sheet! Most notably they gave some sort of battery runtimes with some video and other test. These aren’t gaming situations and they don’t provide all the details of how the device was configured. Controllers are 11 hours runtime! Link:
I was really curious to find a USB C logitech dongle for the Legion Go. It doesn't exist, but can you guess who has a usb c dongle?
@Lenovo
! For those of you NOT wanting to use BT or an adapter, this combo here looks like a winner! Likely fits the bottom port too!
It’s started… someone claiming that their legion go shipped, Best Buy preorder, to Alaska. This comes from Reddit user MurkoSneakz. Take with a grain of salt, but it’s plausibly the legion go
A new Legion Go roadmap update is now live, including notes on:
- V31 beta bios
- Audio EQ improvements
- Speaker crackle
- VGA driver/AFMF progress
- Ongoing priorities
- Accessories news
Full update here:
Legion space does have an occasional deal which could be cost beneficial from steam. Right now steam has a bundle sale on ace combat 7 plus dlc for $15, but no sale on the individual game. Legion space is $8.50 for the game, no DLC. It looks like LS also has the bundle for $13 🤔
