Best Legion Go accessories 2024: Important peripherals for the gaming handheld
You'll get the most out of your Legion Go with these accessories.
So you've secured a sweet Legion Go gaming handheld for yourself or a loved one. This device is very impressive, but there are some things you can do to improve your experience with it. For one thing, you can ensure you have the very best Legion Go accessories to make gameplay more convenient.
I've identified the best Legion Go peripherals currently available. Of course, considering this handheld doesn't have a long battery life, you might also want to check out my list of the best Legion Go power banks.
The Legion Go's large, gorgeous screen is what sets it apart from other gaming handhelds so you should take measures to protect it. I suggest going with DBrand's screen protectors due to their strong tempered glass, perfect shape, and oleophobic coating that reduces fingerprint smudges. This purchase nets you a cleaning kit, a squeegee for removing bubbles, and two quality screen protectors.
It's an unfortunate fact that the Legiong Go doesn't have the best battery life. As such, you will benefit from a power bank with enough wattage to charge the gaming handheld back up while you play. Another helpful perk of this 87W, 25,600 mAh battery pack is that it comes with a charging adapter for easier recharging.
If you want to play your Legion Go on a monitor or TV, then you're going to need a reliable dock, and I personally prefer this one. It's got enough wattage to charge up your handheld while displaying it on another screen. Plus, there are several ports to help you connect other accessories and devices.
Due to how tall the Legion Go is, it can be difficult to get docking station USB-C cables (which tend to be short) to reach the lofty port on top of the handheld. That's where these useful USB-C adapters come in handy. Plug them into the Legion Go's USB-C port and then connect the docking station's power supply to the other end. This adapter makes it so most gaming handheld docks on the market can work with the Legion Go.
The Legion Go comes in two storage options: 512GB or 1TB. But the microSD card slot also supports up to 2TB cards. So, if you foresee yourself playing a ton of games on this handheld, you should definitely pick up this reliable SanDisk Extreme, which offers fast read and write times for smooth gameplay.
Tomtoc's shoulder sling bag is technically marketed for both the Steam Deck and ROG Ally. However, I've also checked and found that it has large enough dimensions to fit the Legion Go. A soft padded lining protects the handheld while in transit, and there is plenty of storage space and pockets to pack chargers or other accessories into it. You can carry it by the handle or use the shoulder strap for hands-free transit.
Like to use a ton of accessories with your Legion Go? Then you can benefit from the JSAUX Carrying Case, which has soft fitted slots for the handheld, a controller, the charging cable, a dock, a stand, a gaming mouse, and the FPS mode dock. Plus, it's a hard shell case that protects against damages during transit. Carry it via the handle or over your shoulder with the removable strap.
HyperX is my absolute favorite gaming headset brand since it balances quality audio with value pricing. This wireless Cloud III headset is what I personally use, and I love how well game sounds come through the speakers, as well as how clearly it carries my voice to my teammates. Plus, it is very comfortable.
Since the Legion Go offers Bluetooth, you can easily connect accessories to it wirelessly. The official wireless Xbox controller is arguably the most comfortable gamepad on the market, so if it's something you like to use, it can make your docked or tabletop mode Legion Go gaming sessions more convenient.
Everything you need for your Legion Go
Why you can trust Windows Central
Whether you like using your Legion Go at home on your couch, lying in bed, or while on a trip, the experience can be even better if you have the right accessories. You can't just go with anything you find, though. Any peripherals you want to buy need to match the Legion Go's dimensions, wattage needs, or other aspects.
I was impressed by the Legion Go as you can see in my Legion Go review, but there are definitely ways to improve the playing experience if you get the best peripherals for it. The most important accessory of everything on this list is the dbrand screen protector. After all, what really sets the Legion Go apart from competitor gaming handhelds is its large, impressive screen. As such, you should take measures to protect it, and one of the very best options out there is the DBrand Legion Go Tempered Screen Protector. There are two screen protectors in each purchase and these are durable tempered glass to really shield your Legion Go's screen from damage. What's more a helpful squeegee is included to make it easier to remove bubbles until the glass looks absolutely perfect on your handheld.
Another extremely useful accessory is the iVANKY Docking Station. Connecting your Legion Go to this dock allows it to display your favorite adventures on a monitor or TV while it receives a charge so you can play for a long time. It's worth noting that many docking stations' built-in USB-C cables aren't long enough to plug into the Legion Go, so getting the JSAUX 180 Degree USB-C adapters can help with this.
Now, the Legion Go comes with either 512GB or 1TB of SSD storage built into it, depending on what version you buy. However, depending on how often you game, you can run out of space quickly. To prevent the tedious need for deleting, archiving, or otherwise rearranging saved data, you'll want to invest in a trusted microSD card. I recommend the SanDisk Extreme 512GB or 1TB cards, which are very fast and allow your games to run smoothly.
Finally, it's unfortunate that the Legion Go doesn't have the best battery life. As such, you'll want to provide a compatible way of supplying power to it if you're away from an outlet. The power bank I trust the most is the Anker 747. It offers 87W output with a high 25,600 mAh capacity so that you can charge the device a few times.
