Best Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X accessories in 2025 — The most essential accessories I personally use

Best Xbox Ally Travel Bag

This is a fantastic bag that I've been using for a few years now, and this one even has some handy updates over its predecessor. Tomtoc bags and cases tend to have this uncanny "Tardis" effect where they look small and sleek on the outside, but have cavernous storage space on the inside. This Arccos Tomtoc bag has a padded insert designed to comfortably support any PC gaming handheld, even up to the larger Lenovo Legion Go 2. It has tons of storage and pockets for chargers, battery packs, and cables, and has a comfortable strap for good measure. This is A+ and one accessory I would recommend above all else.

Best Case for Xbox Ally

One thing that bugs me about the Xbox Ally is the lack of a real kickstand. DBrand solved that, though. The new Killswitch case gives your Xbox Ally a boost in protection, adhering to the device's "odd" shape with ease without limiting access to vents or ports. The cover also comes with a kickstand on the reverse as noted, adding some additional versatility to your set up. It's particularly nice if you plan to use this as a travel laptop, like I am.

Best Xbox Ally Power Bank

I have two of these power banks because I love them that much. This power bank supports 145W charging, which is more than enough to rapidly fill up your Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X for an extra cycle. With 25,000 mAh, you should be able to extend your Xbox Ally X and Xbox Ally battery life by anywhere up to 4 hours, if you are using the devices' low power modes. In Turbo Mode, it should give you roughly an extra 45 minutes to an hour, although if you're on the go, it might be best to knock down to a lower power setting to save juice. I love this battery pack because it has an LED display reporting the current charge, and has clearly marked USB ports to show the power draw. It also fits nicely into the Tomtoc Arccos bag.

Best Value microSD Card for Xbox Ally

The Xbox Ally devices have a microSD card slot ensconced on the top of the device, making it an easy way to quickly expand storage capacity. While some very demanding games might be bottlenecked by the transfer speeds of MicroSD, they're a good way to store less demanding games and 2D games. This UHS-I certified MicroSD balances performance, capacity, and price at 160MB/s transfer speeds. And while UHS-II cards are a fair bit faster, they're also a fair bit pricier per gigabyte.

Best Speed microSD Card for Xbox Ally

If money is no object to you and you want the fastest speeds possible, consider these Lexar Gold microSD cards instead. Their UHS-II format offers less storage per dollar than the standard Sandisk UHS-I option, but you'll get boosted transfer speeds and potentially game performance in some particularly texture-heavy titles. Generally, though, you'd want to run more demanding games from the faster internal storage device over this. So, I would generally recommend buying the slower (but cheaper) Sandisk MicroSD and using that specifically for less-demanding games and 2D titles. But if you wanted to, it's worth considering this as well for the speed boost, if money is no object.

Best Xbox Ally Docking Station

While there is an official ASUS Xbox Ally dock, it's not currently available, and it's also extortionately expensive, costing $100 more than this one from IVANKY. Through the review period, I used this dock the entire time with the official ASUS charger and had no issues whatsoever. This dock sports HDMI 2.1, USB ports, 1GB Ethernet, and a 100w charge port, making it more than adequate to tackle all of your docking needs.

Best Hardshell Case for Xbox Ally

I personally prefer the Tomtoc Arccos bag as my case for the Xbox Ally, but some prefer the reassuring endurance of a hard shell case. If that's you, then look no further. Recently, JSAUX refreshed its carry case line to include the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, with both Slim and Max case variants. I'm listing the Max version here, because its double-decker design adds storage space for chargers and other accessories you might want to bring with you, given that this is a "gaming PC" of sorts. I fit my folding keyboard in here too for good measure.

Best Travel Adapter for Xbox Ally

I totally forgot to add this first time around, because I suppose it's a little bit niche. But if you wanted an extra charger for your Xbox Ally, this is the one. 65W supports Turbo mode on the Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X, but the additional ports means you can charge multiple devices on top if you're out and about. If you travel to different countries frequently, this is also a great option for swapping between UK, US, and EU plugs on a single device. Although its bulk means that it may fall out of the wall when using the flimsy US sockets unfortunately.

Best Earbuds for Xbox Ally

If you want some travel-style gaming earbuds to go with your travel-style gaming handheld, look no further than the SteelSeries Arctis Gamebuds. These earbuds support Bluetooth connectivity with the Xbox Ally, but you can also use the USB-C dongle within the case for a more reassuring connection (although it does cover up the volume buttons if you do this, it's not a big deal since you can always adjust audio using the on-ear buttons anyway). They have noise-cancelling, ideal for those long flights, and are among the most comfortable earbuds I've ever used.
