## 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)

This article or section is being considered for removal.

Reason: Fixed since kernel 6.11 according to the AUR removal request. (Discuss in Talk:AYA NEO 2021)

The IMU (Bosch BMI160) is incorrectly identified in the BIOS. A DKMS patch (bmi160-aya-neo-dkms-gitAUR[broken link: package not found]) 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

1. The key is visible to `xev` and similar tools
2. The physical key has a symbol on it, which describes its function
3. KB key cannot be mapped to toggling the OSK on Gnome Shell. A feature request has been opened for it.
4. 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.
