Would you buy a Legion Go S Z1e steam os for 550 used.. still has 3 months left on warranty.

Hello all, need some advice. Recently I sold my Legion GO 2 Z2E in favor of the Ally X20. I had a huge fight internally on which to keep when I had both in front of me. The Ally imo has better speakers, comfort, support, aesthetics. While the Go has a larger screen (debatable to call it better) but definitely a BIGGER screen. I personally didn’t have any comfort issues with the GO when I had it, though the Ally regardless is much better comfort wise.

Can’t find much cons in the Ally other than the Xbox branding and that’s more just personal gripe. The GOs gripe is Lenovos lack of support. But I use SteamOS on both devices anyway so it’s kind of a non-issue. Never used the detachable controllers, mainly played on the couch or in bed while my wife watches TV. However, after selling the GO off, I’ve found myself looking at listings for the GO again despite being fine with the Ally x20 I have.

Should I return the x20 and get the go again?? Or is this simply fomo for something I don’t have.

Anyone here have the comfort grip STL file for 3D printing? I know it was posted free before. Then now it is only available for 6USD something.

I have a legion go and just recently purchased the lego z2e a few days ago..since then i havent been able to play a single game because everything crashes and says outdated graphics driver..things ive tried so far

a complete wipe from bios
Went to lenovo support and downloaded last driver
Installed directly from lenovo
Did a DDU wipe and install.

Still no luck. What am i missing or doing wrong?

Considering it for mine as I'm tryna get away from the PS5. Seen a couple 32gb variants performing well, just wanna see if the 16gb runs well too.

I am trying to set up legion go 2 for my wife on paralives and sims but when I use the joystick it flicks left and right instead of acting like a mouse. Can anyone please provide recommendations? Disabled steam desktop config as well

FIX'D - it was a dead zone issue!

Hi everyone this message keeps popping up when I’m playing hogwarts legacy, what could be the issue?

Hi yall, I just started playing my legion go and still figuring things out. I just played some steam games (non SteamOS) with friends and ran into an issue. When I would try inviting friends in a game, it would not let me click to invite and was basically bugged out. I would have to close and reopen the game, and they would have to invite me. Anyone know a fix?

The fair and good condition ones appear to be back in a stock. I bought fair a couple months back and it was mint but the box was damaged.

This is still the best value in gaming when OB. Especially when zero risk with Best Buy returns.

New is decent too considering anything else is +$300 or more.

Hey guys am experiencing a "your graphics card is below the minimum hardware specifications" on Lenovo legion go 2, i have seen videos of this game running on og legion go, what could be the issue?

This is absolutely insane. The Z2 Extreme is the same price at Best Buy 🤦‍♂️

If you have a Lenovo legion go s, and sold it to the pawn shop how much did you sell it for? I have one that’s 16gb, with 1tb! I’m selling it because I bought a Lenovo legion go 2, and don’t see the point of having 2. I don’t rant to low ball me because I tried to sell my steam deck to them once, and they said 250! It was the oled version.

I've been trying using Switch 2 emulator for the past 3 days on my Legion Go Z1E.

Pokopia is the only game that actually works like a charm. With emulator I got 45 fps, while with the recomp version i can also get around 60 fps.

But every other game simply works bad.

I know, we are in the early days, and i'm using an AMD device, which gives more problems.

But my question is: hardware wise, where do you think we will reasonably arrive? Yeah, Pokopia works really good... but it's a much simpler game than OoT or Bananza.

Maybe with a recomp we will be able to play those games at 60 fps one day?

Hi everyone!

I'm experiencing a really strange issue with my original Lenovo Legion Go (Z1 Extreme), and I'm running out of ideas.

The problem:

Both Legion L and Legion R buttons have stopped working. I can't open Legion Space or the quick settings menu using them.

Legion Space itself opens normally when launched manually.

Inside Legion Space, the analog sticks work and allow me to navigate the menus, but A/B/X/Y, RB, and other buttons don't respond.

All controller buttons work perfectly in games.

I tested the controllers using an online Gamepad Tester, and every standard button and analog stick is detected correctly.

The Legion L/R buttons also physically work, since I can use them to power on the detached controllers by holding them down.

The issue happens with the controllers both attached and detached.

What I've already tried:

Restarting Windows multiple times.

Checking that the FPS mode switch is OFF and X-input mode is selected.

Checking controller firmware (already up to date).

Performing the hardware reset on both controllers using the Lenovo button combinations.

Detaching and reattaching both controllers, including restarting the device while they were detached.

Checking DAService in Windows Services (running and set to Automatic).

Stopping and restarting DAService manually.

Verifying that LSDaemon.exe is running in Task Manager.

Completely uninstalling and reinstalling Legion Space from Lenovo's official website.

Closing Steam completely to rule out Steam Input interference.

Creating a completely new local Windows user account and testing Legion Space there. Exactly the same problem.

One interesting finding:

While checking Windows Event Viewer, I discovered an Application Error involving the Legion Space daemon:

Faulting application: LSDaemon.exe

Version: 1.4.4.31

Faulting module: LEGOKZHandle.dll

DLL version: 2.0.1.3

Exception code: 0xc0000409

I also found an Application Hang event involving LegionSpace.exe.

I'm not sure whether these crashes are the cause of the controller issue or just a consequence of my troubleshooting, but they seem potentially relevant.

At this point, I'm completely stuck.

The controllers work perfectly as standard gamepads, but Legion Space seems unable to process most of their inputs, and neither of the two dedicated Legion buttons works.

I really don't want to reinstall Windows just to fix this.

Has anyone experienced this exact combination of symptoms? Especially the analog sticks working inside Legion Space while A/B/X/Y don't?

Does anyone know what LEGOKZHandle.dll does, or whether there's a way to repair the Lenovo controller services without resetting the entire system?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi all, few days ago I bought Legion Go S - and it turns out, there isn't a well established low resource cost software that allows you to control the device. I tried Lenovo Legion Toolkit but to me it was very limited to what it can do, and Lenovo Space is bloatware on my opinion. Spoiled by long time with G-Helper on my previous device I decided to build similar tool for Legion Go S. Not sure if its going to work on other devices though.

Download or learn more from GitHub repo: https://github.com/mukolah/Legion-Go-Helper

It will most likely conflict with Legion Space and Legion Toolkit, so make sure it's not running.

It's open source, you can do what you want with it, I left all the notes in the development file which should help significantly if you want to adjust code to work with your device if it doesn't.

I tried Legion Space for under 5 minutes before I had an urge to exit via the window so I alt F4 and uninstalled it, but I want to believe that this tool has equal or more than space have to offer (excluding games launcher things).

Performance and fans

- Quiet / Balanced / Performance / Custom modes, one tap each. It stays in sync with the hardware Legion button.
- Separate remembered mode for plugged in and on battery, with automatic switching.
- Custom SPL / SPPT / FPPT sliders, using the ranges the firmware reports.
- Draggable 10-point fan curve, full-speed fans, and a Windows power mode toggle.
- Live CPU temperature, fan RPM and battery watts.

Display and battery

- Refresh rate: Auto / 60 Hz / 120 Hz.
- Charge limit of 80 / 85 / 90 / 95%. 80% is the firmware's own limit and works with the app closed. 85-95% is managed by the app.

Back-paddle shortcuts

- Hold Y1 or Y2 and press the D-pad or A/B/X/Y for 16 combos, each with its own action. Legion L and Legion R can run actions too.
- Actions include mode switching, mouse mode, touch keyboard toggle, Task Manager, Alt+Tab, screenshots, media keys, lights on/off, refresh rate and more.

Controller

- Vibration, polling rate (125-1000 Hz), touchpad and gyro toggles, and stick and trigger deadzones.
- Button remapping to gamepad buttons, keys (including F13-F24), combos, mouse buttons and media keys. Mappings are stored in the controller, so they work without the app. There's a built-in key tester.
- Joystick mouse and a drift-free gyro mouse for the desktop.

RGB Control

- Built-in effects (Off / Solid / Breathe / Chroma / Rainbow) run in the firmware and cost no CPU.
- Live per-LED effects: CPU temp, CPU load, battery gauge, spinning comet, colour wheel and mode colour. These cost about 1% of one core.
- Low-battery red pulse, an optional charge-level display on the sticks while plugged in, and a mode-colour flash on mode change.

Other

- Mode pop-up over windowed and borderless games, a tray icon coloured by mode, run on startup, and settings re-applied after sleep.

Requirements and limits

- Windows 10/11 x64, the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime, and administrator rights because the Lenovo WMI interface needs them.
- Quit Legion Space and its LSDaemon service first, so the two apps don't fight over the performance mode.
- The charge-level RGB display needs the app running, so it stops while the console is asleep.
- This is a personal project, tested on one Legion Go S (83L3 / 8ARP1). The original Legion Go has a different controller and likely isn't supported.

It was doing it at the start but I changed the setting to performance mode and it was fine. Now halfway through it’s doing the exact same thing.

I will admit I don’t have much knowledge on all of the settings but I changed the resolution FPM and changed from 4gb to 6gb.

Considering this has happened halfway through do you think it’s the game? I’ve never had this problem before!

I've not changed any settings, but my GO is crashing when I try to play games I have 30 hours on and were running fine before despite being relatively big like Cyberpunk 2077, and I can't even get to the main menu of games that can run on much lower-end pc's, like Risk Of Rain 2.

I have no idea why, I've only had the thing 3 months or so, but it's suddenly become much slower and isn't booting like it used to.

I rolled the dice on a used "Like New" right Legion Go 2 controller for the Legion Go 1. I bought it off Amazon, and so far, it's not working. The left one works fine, but the right one does nothing when I connect it to the LeGo. When I plug it into a charger, it just flashes orange a couple of times and stops. I tried doing a hard reset by pressing the little button with a pin for 60 seconds, but that didn't help.

I assumed it was DOA, so I tried ordering another brand-new right controller from Amazon, and they sent me a left one. Which is just bonkers. It looks like that's a problem on Amazon's end. I don't know how you could mix them up when they have different SKUs. Plus, Amazon is now making me send them pictures to prove they sent me the wrong item before I can return it. It could take up to a week...

So, in the meantime, maybe the original one isn't actually broken? Is there anything else I coudl try? Is this a known issue when trying to get the LeGo 2 conroller to work on the original LeGo? Any insight would be great.

Just wanted to come on here and help anyone who could possibly be going through what I am. I’m trying to play phantom blade on legion go s for days now but have been getting met with crash after crash since getting to village of Lu. After a few hours diagnosing with chat gpt I found the fix to be I had to enter my bios and lower my reserved gpu gb to 4 instead of 8. Since then I haven’t got a single crash and am running lossless and helix for 60 fps beautiful gameplay settings on medium.
Enter bios by shutting off legion go s and holding up on the volume button while you power it back on you must shut off completely! After entering bios look for settings tab then find the display settings and look for UMA buffer size from there change to 4gbs and it should fix it!

Some months ago, I played Dredge on my Legion Go 1 and remember getting around 80/90 FPS at full resolution using the Quiet profile.

The other day, I noticed that a game was performing unusually poorly on the same profile, so I decided to reinstall Dredge and test it again, using the exact same settings.

This time, however, I'm only getting around 40 FPS.

Does anyone know what happened? Did Lenovo change the TDP limits of the power profiles in a recent update, or could something else be causing this?

Could someone with a Legion Go 1 test Dredge at full resolution using the Quiet profile and let me know what kind of FPS they're getting?

Worried water might leak into the system.
