cool at less than 25dB of fan noise in Quiet Mode, while still allowing the
device to reach a full 25W of TGP in Custom Mode, said the company.

that maximize responsiveness and accuracy. Other inputs include an integrated
trackpad, a large D-pad, an angled mouse wheel, and a total of 10 mappable
shoulder buttons, triggers, and grip buttons. her is RGB lighting on the power
button with the iconic Lenovo Legion ‘O’ that switches colors to indicate the
user-selectable fan mode, and customizable RGB rings around the joysticks add another
layer of flair while also acting as a notification system for controller
pairing.

body and use the kickstand at the back to prop it up on a surface. The right
detached controller is placed into an included controller base that attaches
via magnet, and the optical eye at the bottom of the controller allows for more
precise aiming and control necessary during competitive FPS games, akin to
using a mouse.

just half an hour. When gaming while plugged in, The Lenovo Legion Go includes
a power bypass mode that protects the battery from extra degradation while also
