What screwdriver do I need to open my Asus ROG Ally?
A Phillips #0 (aka PH0) can remove the back cover screws and the screw securing the SSD. The rest of the fasteners inside the handheld console are smaller and require a PH00 screwdriver.

What other tools do I need to repair, mod, and clean my ROG Ally?
Opening Picks
Opening picks are suitable at releasing the clips securing the back case to the device. If you don't have a plastic pry tool, a guitar pick will work.
Spudger
A versatile tool perfect for safely disconnecting cables and other components such as the battery.
Tweezers
Precision tweezers are useful for peeling tape, and handling delicate components and connectors inside the console, such as the fan and joystick cables and the buttons.
For modders and tinkerers: Teardown Tech Shahram Mokhtari developed a modification for the Ally that should give the handheld a more persistent battery life.
