More accessories than you can shake a stick at
Here at hand is an ample collection of accessories for the Lenovo Legion Go, so instead of composing a lengthy treatise on each one, I’ve prepared a concise guide. This guide includes essential details about the new accessories, their availability, and pricing. You can browse the images above to catch a sneak peek. Enjoy!
- Lenovo Legion Go USB Type-C Docking Station. First off, we have an official dock for the Legion Go. Docking stations and USB hubs are very popular with gaming handhelds, and now you can get one straight from Lenovo that’s custom designed for the Legion Go. This dock features a USB Type-C port with 100W Power Delivery, another USB Type-C port, an integrated cable to connect to the Legion Go’s Type-C port, two USB Type-A 3.0 ports, an Ethernet RJ45 port, and an HDMI 2.0 port that supports external displays up to 4K at 60Hz. The Legion Go USB Type-C Dock is expected to be available from Aug. 2024 for $64.99 at Lenovo.
- Lenovo Legion Go Hard Carrying Case. Next, we have a way to protect your Legion Go handheld and all its most important accessories with this rather fetching carrying case. It’s a hard shell with a dual-zipper, and features a dedicated tab to protect your display, a roomy pocket for stashing all manner of accessories like portable keyboards, earbuds, and more, and a hidden area to stash the charging adapter and FPS Controller Puck. The Legion Go Carrying Case is expected to be available from Dec. 2024 for $29.99 at Lenovo.
- Lenovo Legion Go Controller Charging Connector. The Legion Go’s controller can already disconnect for wireless play and even transform into an FPS-centric mouse, and now they can mirror the Nintendo Switch’s JoyCons with a new accessory that connects them into a singular, external wireless controller. It even has its own built-in battery to double the endurance of the Legion Go’s controllers, and features its own Type-C port for charging. The Legion Go Charging Connector is expected to be available from Oct. 2024 for $49.99 at Lenovo.
- Lenovo Legion Go Joysticks & Joystick Caps. Speaking of the Legion Go’s controllers, you can now swap the default joysticks for one of four colors, each with one of four caps to change the way you play. Lenovo quotes the “extra grippy textured material” for enhancing control and comfort. The Legion Go’s Joystick Caps are expected to be available from Nov. 2024 for $9.99 at Lenovo.
- Lenovo Multi-Device Bluetooth Mini Keyboard. This accessory isn’t just aimed at Legion Go owners, but anyone who needs an ultra-portable wireless keyboard. This is a 75% keyboard that weighs just 180g and is only 5.6mm thin, and can connect and switch between up to three devices via Bluetooth. The Lenovo Multi-Device Wireless Keyboard is expected to be available from Nov. 2024 for $39.99 at Lenovo.
- Lenovo Legion R27qc-30 and R32qc-30 Gaming Monitors. Finally, we have two new gaming monitors from the Lenovo Legion brand. Both are nearly identical, only differing in screen size, price, and other minor areas. Both monitors boast a 1500R curve, a 180Hz refresh rate, a 0.5ms response time, dual 3W speakers, two HDMI 2.1 ports, and one DisplayPort 1.4 port. The 27-inch version with 120% of the sRGB color gamut is expected to be available from Dec. 2024 for $269.99 at Lenovo, while the 31.5-inch version with 112% of the sRGB color gamut is expected to be available from Oct. 2024 for $319.99 at Lenovo.
It’s quite surprising that more gaming handheld manufacturers such as Valve and ASUS haven’t introduced more comprehensive accessory support. While it’s true that ASUS offers a wide range of gaming accessories, it would be advantageous to further boost the capabilities of these portable gaming devices with additional helpful tools and peripherals. The Legion Go has an edge over competitors like the ASUS ROG Ally due to its large screen and adaptable design. Now, gamers aiming for an enhanced experience can upgrade with official accessories such as a protective carrying case, a customized USB Type-C docking station, and more.
Today’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) is the Controller Charging Connector, marking a significant advancement for players as they can now detach the controllers from the Legion Go console and use them collectively as a single unit. This setup promises a more ergonomic experience compared to the JoyCons on the Switch, with each controller boasting a robust, textured grip. Not just for Legion Go owners, this development also brings exciting prospects with the introduction of two budget-friendly Legion gaming monitors and a new 75% wireless Bluetooth keyboard. The future holds intrigue as we wonder if Lenovo will continue to expand the Legion ecosystem and if competitors like ASUS and Valve will follow suit.
Watch out for forthcoming evaluations on these items and additional products at Windows Central, so you can determine whether Lenovo is worth your investment or if other manufacturers are giving preferential treatment to the Lenovo Legion Go.
