There are seven accessories I recommend to everyone who owns a handheld gaming PC, mostly because these are the devices I regularly use with my own portable gaming machines.
My very first recommendation is the Tomtoc Carrying Case, since I personally have used it to carry my Steam Deck, Xbox Ally X, Legion Go 2, Nintendo Switch 2, and other devices in its protective embrace. I also love the shoulder strap, which frees up my hands when I'm on the move, and the spacious storage pockets for toting around other accessories.
FAQ
What is the best handheld docking station?
There are dozens of options to choose from, but the one I recommend most is the JSAUX 6-in-1 Multifunctional Docking Station since it supports up to 4K@120Hz, offers a good range of ports, and has a design that is compatible with most handhelds, even larger ones like Legion Go 2 and Xbox Ally X.
What is the most important handheld gaming PC accessory?
As with any device, the way you use a handheld gaming PC determines what the most important accessory will be for it. Typically, the most commonly purchased peripherals tend to be screen protectors, carrying cases, microSD cards, docking stations, and power banks.
Do Steam Deck accessories work with Xbox Ally X or Legion Go 2?
It depends on the accessory. If a peripheral is form-fitting, like a screen protector, carrying case, or protective skin, then it likely doesn't work between different devices.
What power input does my handheld need?
Most handhelds need 65W power flow from docking stations, power banks, and wall chargers in order to meet their power needs. However, the Steam Deck only needs devices with a 45W power input.
