I’m actually surprised we haven’t seen more aggressive official accessory support from more gaming handheld manufacturers like Valve and ASUS (although ASUS does have its own expansive line of gaming accessories, as it makes a ton of sense to enhance your gaming handheld with helpful accessories and peripherals. The Legion Go already has a leg up on its competitors like theASUS ROG Allythanks to its massive screen and versatile design, and now gamers looking to level up that experience can do so with an official protective carrying case, a tailored USB Type-C docking station, and more.
The MVP of the day is the Controller Charging Connector, though, which finally gives players a way to unplug the controllers from the Legion Go and use them together as a singular unit. It’ll be far more ergonomic than the JoyCons for the Switch, too, as each individual controller has a hefty, textured grip. Even non-Legion Go owners have something to look forward to, though, with two new affordable Legion gaming monitors and a new 75% wireless Bluetooth keyboard. It’ll be interesting to see if Lenovo keeps expanding the Legion ecosystem in the future, and if companies like ASUS and Valve step it up a notch to answer.
