I own both an ROG Ally and an ROG Ally X. They’re fantastic handheld gaming PCs, but I know from personal experience that the right accessories can make them even better.
Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, many of my most frequently used PC gaming handheld accessories are currently on sale for anyone with an active Amazon Prime membership.

Enhance your handheld gaming PC sessions with the right accessories
I conducted both the ROG Ally review and the ROG Ally X review here at Windows Central, and I’ve loved using both of these gaming handhelds ever since I first got my hands on them.
That said, I quickly discovered that there were ways to make either device even better, particularly when I used certain accessories with them.
I’ve gotten a lot of use out of each of the accessories I’ve listed on this page, but to prevent this article from turning into a novel, I’ll just highlight three of them, starting with the JSAUX ModCase.
Since I take my ROG Ally and/or ROG Ally X with me on trips, I get a lot of use out of the JSAUX ModCase. Its protective front plate prevents my screens and joysticks from getting damaged in transit without requiring me to put my handheld in a bulky carrying case.
If that sounds appealing, you might want to grab the ROG Ally X JSAUX ModCase while it’s only $23.99 at Amazon. Of course, there’s also the ROG Ally version, which is also selling for $23.99 at Amazon right now.
Anyone who owns an ROG Ally should consider increasing its storage space either with a microSD card or an internal 2230 M.2 SSD. I’ve personally upgraded mine so that it went from having a 512GB SSD to having a 2TB WD_BLACK SSD, and I’d never go back to the way it was before.

So, if you’re interested, I recommend grabbing the WD_Black SN770M while it’s discounted from its usual $139.99 to just $84.99 at Amazon.
The last accessory I’ll focus on is the JSAUX Multifunctional Docking Station, which is currently on sale for $31.19 at Amazon.
Using this docking station, I’ve been able to play my ROG Ally and ROG Ally X like a console connected to my TV (with the help of my favorite Xbox controller).
I love that the USB-C cable is long enough to actually reach the ROG Ally X’s USB-C port, since this is an issue with several other docking stations out there.
Alternatively, I’ve also used this dock to connect my Ally to my computer monitor and have used the handheld like a laptop to type up documents and run various programs.
It would be nice if the dock’s base were a bit wider to add more stability, but it works beautifully, and I’ve never had a problem with it otherwise.
I guess I will sneak one other accessory in here at the bottom. When my ROG Ally X is in the docking station and connected to my TV, I tend to use my Artciety Foldable Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard to navigate around the screen with the touchpad and type into Windows using the well-spaced keys.
This foldable accessory makes it a lot easier to enjoy my gaming sessions when I want to chat with people in Discord or when I have to enter text into my games, as well. Plus, its compact design makes it easy to travel with. It’s nice that it’s currently only $34.43 at Amazon.
