Lenovo Legion Go Transforms Handheld Gaming with Detachable Controllers - Yanko Design
"The redesigned Legion TrueStrike controllers eliminate the fundamental flaw that plagues every traditional handheld gaming device. Unlike fixed controllers that lock you into uncomfortable positions for extended sessions, these detachable units feature ergonomic curves, refined button placement, and intelligent layout design. The three user-programmable buttons respond to Legion Space software customization, allowing personalized control schemes for different games. Hall effect joysticks prevent the drift issues that destroy conventional analog sticks over time."
"At IFA 2025 in Berlin, Lenovo addresses these fundamental gaming handheld limitations with the Legion Go (8.8″, 2), a Windows 11-based device that adapts to how people actually want to game rather than forcing adaptation to hardware constraints. The handheld builds on the success of its predecessor while incorporating key improvements based on Legion community feedback. The device centers on genuinely flexible design philosophy that recognizes different games demand different control methods and play styles."
Lenovo's Legion Go (8.8″, 2) is a Windows 11 handheld designed to remove common portable gaming compromises. The device uses detachable Legion TrueStrike controllers with ergonomic curves, refined button placement, and three user-programmable buttons tied to Legion Space software. Hall effect joysticks prevent drift and a large pivot D-pad improves fighting-game input. The handheld builds on community feedback and predecessor gains while supporting multiple control methods for different genres. Improved ergonomics and modularity aim to make long sessions comfortable and enable desktop-like precision on FPS and competitive titles. Battery and performance enhancements support sustained gameplay.
