Best Accessories for Lenovo Legion Y7000 in 2020

If you're a fan of first-person shooters, the SteelSeries Rival 600 is a top choice thanks to an incredibly accurate TrueMove3 sensor, modular weight system, and 0.5 mm lift-off distance. It's also very comfortable during long playtimes and has a satisfying click from the mechanical switches, plus customizable RGB lighting gives you a lot of colorful options.

Role-playing games (RPG) generally demand a lot more keys and clicks when playing, so a mouse with a ton of extra buttons makes sense. The Logitech G600 has a quality sensor for precise movements, a smooth scroll wheel, and 20 total buttons — including 12 on the left side in easy reach of your thumb. It's comfortable and it's priced quite reasonably for the features you get.

The Legion Y7000 doesn't have a mechanical keyboard nor does it have RGB lighting, but you can fix this issue with the external Redragon K552-RGB. It uses Outemu switches for a satisfying tactile click, and each key can be separately customized with different colors. It's all built on a platform made of aircraft-grade aluminum for superior durability and an overall light package.

This 24-inch gaming monitor is on the pricey side, at least until you see the specs. It has a crisp 2560x1440 resolution, a 165 Hz refresh rate, and a 1 ms response time for an incredibly smooth picture, plus it's G-Sync compatible for the NVIDIA GTX 1060 GPU in the Legion Y7000. The stand allows for tilt, swivel, and pivot adjustments, and it has HDMI and DisplayPort connections.

If you'd rather stick with 1080p and save a bunch of money, BenQ's Zowie 24-inch gaming monitor is a great budget pick. It has DVI and HDMI ports for connecting your Legion Y7000, and though it doesn't offer G-Sync compatibility, it does have a 60 Hz refresh rate and 1 ms response time.

The speakers on the Legion Y7000 are a bit hollow, so if you really want to hear every explosion, gunshot, and footstep in clear, full audio, we recommend picking up this Kraken Pro V2 gaming headset from Razer. It has a retractable mic, 50 mm drivers, and an in-line remote for quick control, plus it has a lot of padding around the ears for comfortable gaming marathons.

If you're using an external mouse with your gaming laptop (which we highly recommend), a big mousepad can make a huge difference. This one from AmazonBasics is affordable, has a smooth surface for easy movement, and a rubberized bottom keeps it in place. There are a few sizes to choose from, but once you go with the XXL (17.7 inches by 15.7 inches) you won't want to use anything else.

The Legion Y7000 has two large fans inside that do a good job of keeping the laptop cool while gaming, but for extended sessions, a cooling pad with three extra fans can help with airflow. It props up the laptop at an angle that also makes it easier to use the built-in keyboard, it has blue lighting for a bit of style, and it plugs into your laptop with USB-A.
