Bursting onto the scene earlier this year, the ASUS ROG Ally has caused quite a stir in the gaming world.

ASUS' powerful handheld PC is one of the best, most exciting ways to enjoy your favorite PC titles on the go. Whether you're one of the lucky ones who has already bagged your very own or you're looking to get one in the near future, you'll want to make sure your ROG Ally is tricked out with the latest and best accessories possible.

We've whittled down the best accessories currently available for the ROG Ally to help you get the best out of your gameplay.

Our Favorite ASUS ROG Ally Accessories in 2023

Every handheld gaming device needs a good portable case to carry it around safely. For the ASUS ROG Ally, the best travel case is the Official ROG Ally Travel Case from ASUS. Emblazoned with an eye-catching holographic ROG logo and a Republic of Gamers zipper, it certainly wins points for style.

Sporting a water-repellent PU cover, it does well to keep your handheld and accessories nice and dry when you’re on the move. Inside the case, a soft mesh inner plus fleece-lined compartment keeps your ROG Alley snug and comfortable, offering decent protection from scratches and knocks. The design also includes a folded tab with pockets for storing your SD cards.

The official ROG Ally travel case has one more ace up its sleeve, too. Prop up both halves of the open case with the central tab, and you have a makeshift stand for tabletop gaming or for watching videos.

If you own an ASUS ROG Ally and never want to worry about running out of storage space for your favorite games and content, you might want to consider investing in an SSD. And one of the best you can get is the SABRENT Rocket Q4 2230. This bad boy is equipped with a massive 2TB of real estate to help you get the best out of your handheld PC.

With Gen4 performance of up to 5GB/s and up to 800K IOPS, it’s super-fast and responsive, as well as power efficient. Enjoy lightning-fast loading times and low latency, and reward yourself with the best possible experience for your handheld gaming.

All this storage certainly comes at a price, with the SABRENT Rocket Q4 normally retailing anywhere between the $200 to $300 mark. However, this solid-state drive is the easiest way to get the best possible internal storage for your ROG Ally, giving you the freedom to use your handheld without limits.

Protecting your ROG Ally’s casing is all well and good, but it’s all for naught if you haven’t taken steps to keep the fabulous screen safe. Investing in a quality screen protector for your gaming handheld is never a bad idea, and if you have $25 to spare after coughing up for your console, you may as well spend the extra to get the best there is.

dBrand's Tempered Glass Screen Protector is custom cut for the ROG Ally. It has an oleophobic coating that prevents unsightly smudges and smears from appearing, as well as being highly resistant to fingerprint damage. It has incredible transparency that won’t dull your gaming experience and is scratch and shock-resistant too.

You get two screen protectors in each pack, giving you a handy backup if you happen to fudge the first installation. That said, application is a relative breeze, and you shouldn’t have any trouble getting it right. And while there are plenty of other (and cheaper) ROG Ally screen protectors out there, this one is the creme de la creme.

Premium gaming on the go is a fantastic way to spend some time, but sometimes there are certain titles that demand to be played on the biggest screen you can find. For those occasions, you’ll want to consider a quality wireless controller to complement your ROG Ally when it’s in docked mode, like the ASUS ROG Raikiri Pro Wireless Controller.

The Raikiri Pro offers tri-mode connectivity with wired USB-C, Bluetooth, or 2.4GHz wireless connections. It features a built-in OLED display that can be customized with animations, status indicators, and player profile details. The controller also has selectable step triggers, which can be set to full-range or short-range modes, and customizable dead zones, that can be set in the Armoury Crate App.

Armoury Crate also allows you to remap buttons and adjust the sensitivity of the joysticks, lighting profiles, and more. Plus, there are four rear control buttons which can also be individually programmed, for bespoke control of your favorite games. And while it may cost a pretty penny, it’s one of the most versatile ways to enjoy PC gaming on the big screen.

Offering a generous amount of storage space for considerably less than a powerful SSD like the SABRENT Rocket Q4, the SanDisk 1TB microSDXC is a great way to beef up your gaming landscape. With 1 TB of internal storage for your ROG Ally, this may be more than sufficient for your needs and is a fraction of the price too.

In addition to the extra storage it provides, you’ll benefit from much faster transfer speeds, too. This 1TB version is capable of read speeds up to 190MB/s and write speeds of up to 130MB/s, giving you a good boost to your Ally’s overall performance.

This microSD is easy to install and is a more cost-effective way of doubling up the available storage space on your handheld.

The ASUS ROG Cetra True Wireless Gaming Headphones make an excellent companion to your ROG Ally. With a dedicated low-latency gaming mode built-in, they offer one of the best ways to boost your in-game audio, especially when you’re on the move.

With active noise-cancelation, a 27-hour battery life (including the charging case), IPX4 water resistance, and support for wireless charging, they offer effortless convenience for portable gaming. Specially tuned 10-millimeter drivers amp up that all-important in-game audio, and everything can be tweaked via the Armoury Crate App, including the EQ.

These stylish gaming earbuds feature touch controls on the earbud for even more convenience and do a good job of staying put while you wear them. For an added flourish, you’ll find dynamic RGB lighting on the charging case as well as the earbuds themselves. And while this can’t be customized, it supplies a cool look that you’ll appreciate, nonetheless.

With the ASUS ROG 65W Charger Dock, you can have your TV, monitor, keyboard, and other accessories all connected, to enjoy your ROG Ally on a bigger screen for immersive docked gameplay.

The HDMI 2.0 output resolution on this charger dock supports up to 4K, so you can enjoy excellent large-screen resolution. Enjoy dual charging with the USB Type-C and Type-A ports here, with the former supporting up to 60W, and the latter up to 5W.

It offers the ideal solution to enjoying HDMI-connected bigger screen gameplay with connected devices while charging your ROG Ally at the same time. It comes with a six-foot cable, giving you plenty of slack for docked gameplay. Or you can connect your monitor instead for a convenient desktop setup.

You might balk at the price tag, but the quality-of-life improvements this charger dock brings with it make the investment worthwhile.

Choosing the Best Accessories for Your ASUS ROG Ally

With so many accessories serving a variety of purposes, it's likely that you'll be looking to buy several different ones for your own device.

First and foremost, as with many smartphone purchases, you'll want something to protect that pristine screen. The dbrand Tempered Glass Screen Protector is one of the very best that money can buy. With an almost perfect level of transparency and unrivaled scratch protection, it keeps your screen safe from harm without impairing the visuals. And being custom cut for the ASUS ROG Ally, it fits like a glove.

Although the ASUS ROG Ally comes with a reasonable 512GB of storage space, it likely won't be long until you exhaust the available reserves, particularly if you're playing AAA titles on your handheld. To squash this predicament, you could consider a high-capacity SSD instead. With an incredible 2TB of storage space, the SABRENT Rocket Q4 2230 NVMe 4.0 SSD can comfortably accommodate all your game data without breaking a sweat. And with excellent latency, you'll experience a welcome boost in performance too. If you can stretch to the admittedly considerable price tag, this is one investment that you won't regret.

However, our top choice overall is the ASUS Official ROG Ally Travel Case. Maybe it's because we're a little clumsy, but we place a great deal of importance on keeping your hardware protected. With its hard shell exterior and custom-fit cushioning on the interior, this ASUS carry case works hard to keep your device safe against harm, even while you're stumbling, knocking, and tripping your way through the day. Tough and stylish, it's how every ASUS ROG Ally would choose to be carried if it could.
