ASUS ROG Ally X Accessories: Best Add-Ons and Upgrades

So, you’ve got your hands on the new ASUS ROG Ally X. Lekker! This portable powerhouse is set to redefine gaming on the move in South Africa. But before you dive into a marathon session of Helldivers 2 on the couch, let's talk upgrades. The right ASUS ROG Ally X accessories don’t just protect your investment; they unlock its true potential, turning a great handheld into your ultimate portable rig. 🚀

Armour Up: Essential Protection for Your Ally X 🛡️

First things first: let's keep that beautiful machine safe. The life of a handheld console can be rough, whether it's rattling around in a backpack on your way to a LAN or just surviving a close call with a cup of coffee. Investing in a few key protective ASUS ROG Ally X accessories is a no-brainer.

Screen Protectors & Cases

A high-quality tempered glass screen protector is non-negotiable. It’s your first line of defence against scratches and scuffs that can ruin that gorgeous 120Hz display. Pair it with a sturdy carrying case. A hard-shell case offers maximum protection against drops and bumps, while a slimmer soft case provides great scratch resistance without adding too much bulk.

The handheld PC market is booming, with incredible options available for every type of player. While the ASUS ROG Ally X sets a new standard for performance and battery, it's part of a vibrant ecosystem.

Power Up On The Go ⚡

The biggest upgrade on the Ally X is its massive 80Wh battery, but let's be real… demanding AAA titles will still drain it. A reliable power bank isn't just nice to have; it's essential for any serious gamer.

Look for a power bank with at least a 65W Power Delivery (PD) output. This ensures you can not only charge the Ally X but also play it at its full 30W Turbo Mode while plugged in. A capacity of 20,000mAh or more will give you at least one full extra charge, perfect for surviving loadshedding or long trips.

TIP FOR YOU

Charging Pro Tip 🔋

When choosing a power bank or wall charger, look for one that supports the 'PPS' (Programmable Power Supply) protocol. The ROG Ally X uses this for the most efficient charging and to unlock its highest performance modes. A standard PD charger will work, but a PPS-compatible one is the optimal choice for your new gear.

Expand Your Digital Library

With a 1TB NVMe SSD out of the box, the Ally X is well-equipped. But game sizes are only getting bigger. Sooner or later, you'll want more space. Luckily, you have options.

M.2 SSD Upgrade

For the ultimate performance, swapping out the internal M.2 2280 SSD for a larger 2TB or even 4TB drive is the way to go. This gives you lightning-fast load times and enough room for your entire Steam library. It's a simple upgrade that makes a huge difference. While some competitors like the Lenovo Legion Go have unique features, the ease of upgrading the Ally X is a major plus.

High-Speed MicroSD

If you'd rather not open up your device, a high-speed UHS-I U3 A2 microSD card is a fantastic, hassle-free alternative. It’s perfect for storing indie titles, emulators, or older games, keeping your main drive free for the latest blockbusters.

Elevate Your Senses: Docks & Audio

To truly complete your setup, consider how you’ll experience your games. The built-in speakers are good, but a dedicated audio solution is better. A pair of low-latency Bluetooth earbuds will give you immersive sound without the wires.

Want to take your game to the big screen? A USB-C docking station is one of the most versatile accessories for the ROG Ally X. It lets you connect to a monitor or TV, plug in a keyboard and mouse, and use it like a desktop PC. It's a brilliant way to get a hybrid gaming experience, competing with other handhelds like the MSI Claw for docking versatility.

Ready to Build Your Ultimate Handheld Rig? The right accessories transform your ROG Ally X from a powerful device into a personalised gaming beast. From protection to power, the perfect upgrade is waiting. Explore our full range of handheld consoles and accessories and build the portable setup of your dreams.

Start with a protective case, tempered screen protector, USB-C ROG Ally X dock, 1TB external SSD, cooling fan grip, and a 65W charger for travel.

Look for a ROG Ally X dock with USB4 or DP Alt Mode, HDMI 2.0/2.1, gigabit Ethernet, and 100W pass-through so you can game while charging and run 4K displays.

For speed and durability, a USB 3.2 external SSD beats a microSD card; use microSD for overflow storage and keep your most-played titles on the SSD.

Add a clip-on cooling fan or vented grip, use a dock to raise airflow, repaste if comfortable, and set Silent/Performance profiles per game to balance thermals.

Choose a ROG Ally X charger or power bank with USB-C PD 3.0 at 65W, PPS support if possible, and a 100W cable to avoid throttling while docked.

Yes, via USB4/Thunderbolt-compatible enclosures; a compact ROG Ally X eGPU setup can boost FPS, but confirm bandwidth and PSU wattage for your GPU.

A 20,000–30,000mAh USB-C PD power bank at 65W keeps the ROG Ally X running 3–6 extra hours; check airline limits and bring a short 100W cable.
