11 cheap gaming handheld accessories that have improved my game sessions — For Steam Deck, ROG Xbox Ally, Legion Go 2, and more

I always have one of these adapters plugged into my handheld if I'm playing in handheld mode with my device plugged in and charging. It puts less of a strain on the USB-C charger's cable, which also puts less strain on my handheld's ports. In other words, it's an easy way to protect the handheld over a long period of use. To protect the cable further, pair it with a cable cord protector like these ones at Amazon.

I've used these adapters countless times to plug in my various USB-A accessories on my gaming handhelds. They're small and easy to travel with, so I keep one in my handheld carrying case.

This is the easiest way of giving your handheld more game storage space. I recommend going with the 1TB option if you play a bunch of games since it offers fast speeds for gaming. There are also other capacity microSD cards on sale right now at the same link.

It's no secret that handheld gaming PC don't have the best battery life. So, if you're playing your handheld on the go or taking it on a trip, it's nice to have a reliable power bank. I like this one because it has a handy USB-C cable built right into it, and it outputs 65W to keep up with your handheld even in Turbo mode.

Having more than one charger for your handheld is convenient. I keep an extra one in my carrying case for travel and then keep the original plugged in near my bed. This one is perfect since it offers the 65W output that an Xbox Ally, ROG Ally, or Legion Go handheld needs to charge up while playing in Turbo mode.

Every now and then, I come across a game (or a part in a game) that's easier to navigate with a keyboard and mouse, so I purchased this awesome wireless keyboard a couple years ago and it's been one of the best handheld purchases I've ever made. I love having the built-in trackpad so I don't need to plug in a mouse in addition to a keyboard. Plus, it folds up and comes with a carrying case for easy travel.

This over-the-shoulder carrying case has fit every single gaming handheld I've tried to put in it so far. It isn't a hard shell, but it has thick padded walls to protect from bumps, and there are extra pockets so I can carry my accessories wherever I go.

This is honestly the best docking station for most people. It offers a wide range of ports for connecting various accessories and is very easy to set up with a monitor or TV.

If you have one of the larger handheld gaming PCs like the Legion Go or Legion Go 2, I highly suggest you get this dock. Its two-part design and long USB-C cable make it one of the only docks on the market that can actually reach these larger handhelds' ports without straining the cable.

I bought this hub a few years ago, and it's been such a useful thing to have. With it in place, I can easily attach multiple accessories to my handhelds, utilizing the USB-A and USB-C ports it provides.

If you end up playing your handheld while it's docked to a TV or monitor, you might want to pick up an Xbox Wireless Gaming Controller so you can control your handheld from your couch or gaming chair. There are plenty of colors to choose from, but the black one is discounted the most right now.
