Display
The integrated 800x1280 display is a portrait tablet display that is displayed in a landscape orientation without software correction.
Controller
The built-in controller registers as an Xbox360 controller. A linear vibration motor exists and is functional using the xpad_noone driver.
Bluetooth
Bluetooth on the non-Pro is working as of 5.15.12 (possibly earlier) for the AMD RZ608, which is a re-badged Mediatek MT7921E. The Pro model uses the Mediatek MT7921K and requires the workaround posted in the Wireless section below to work.
Wireless
The Wi-Fi module is the AMD RZ608, which is a re-badged Mediatek MT7921E for the regular model, and a Mediatek MT7921K for the pro model. The Wireless module does not handle power state changes well and will fail to return to operation after system resume. the rz608-fix-gitAUR package resolves this issue by unloading the kernel driver at sleep and reloading it at resume.
IMU (Accelerometer + Gyro)
The IMU (Bosch BMI160) is incorrectly identified in the BIOS. A DKMS patch (bmi160-aya-neo-dkms-gitAUR) may be applied.
Alternatively, a DSDT override may be generated with the correct part number.
DSDT changes:

Special keys
The front of the device has 4 special keys on the bottom right that are mapped through an additional USB keyboard device:
| Key | Visible?1 | Marked?2 | Effect | 
|---|---|---|---|
| WIN | Yes | Yes | Inputs Super | 
| ESC | Yes | Yes | Inputs Esc | 
| KB | Yes | Yes | Inputs Ctrl+Super+O(Opens the virtual keyboard on Windows)3 | 
| TM | Yes | Yes | Inputs Ctrl+Alt+Del(Opens the Task Manager on Windows)4 | 
- The key is visible to xevand similar tools
- The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function
- KB key cannot be mapped to toggling the OSK on Gnome Shell. A feature request has been opened for it.
- Prompts to shutdown the machine on Gnome Shell
It is possible to remap the keys to button codes using [python-evdev]. handygccs-gitAUR is a project that has already mapped these keys for use in Steam's new Big Picture mode.
