Asus ROG Ally

The Asus ROG Ally is perfectly capable of running the latest and greatest games all by itself, but where’s the fun in that. The USB-C port opens you up to a whole host of additional accessories and docking opportunities which means a full desktop style setup is just a few cables away. Of course, the perfect Asus ROG Ally setup is always going to be subjective – you might not even need a keyboard and mouse if you’re going for a console style arrangement, and the full suite will be dependent on how often you take your PC on the road. However, if you’re building a top of the range rig for one of the best gaming handhelds on the market, you’re going to be splashing some cash.
That’s why we’re not just focusing on the ultimate Asus ROG Ally setup. After all, the high-end gadgets we’ve picked out for that total over $4,000 / £4,000 at MSRP. We’ve got four setups for you to mix and match between; a selection of everyday essentials, and then budget, mid-range, and premium docked arrangements. If you’re building your Asus ROG Ally setup from scratch, there are six things you need – assuming you’ve got the original charging cable; a dock, monitor, mouse, keyboard, headset, and controller.
We’ve created three setups, spanning the full price range to get you sorted with a PC-style accessory set whatever your budget.

Everyday essentials
These are everyday essentials that can give your Asus ROG Ally setup that extra bit of sparkle without breaking the bank, keeping your handheld protected and charged while you’re out and about.
Budget Asus ROG Ally setup
Our budget Asus ROG Ally setup pinches the pennies, balancing basic functionality with lower prices to achieve a solid PC experience without too many expensive bells and whistles. This is a static setup – wireless connections and more portable kit often comes at a premium. However, if you’re looking to swap between play at home and on the go while keeping that price low we’d recommend mixing and matching with more mid-range accessories where they matter.
Mid-Range Asus ROG Ally setup
A mid-range Asus ROG Ally setup allows for greater freedom in how and where you play. Upgrading your dock opens you up to full 30W Turbo Mode power and more wireless connections means a portable, flexible setup.
Premium Asus ROG Ally setup
We’ve gone all out for a premium Asus ROG Ally setup, and considering the RTX 4090 Asus ROG XG Mobile is already six times the price of our full budget setup this is no half-hearted rig. You’re kitting out an industry leading setup here, and spending the big bucks to do so. However, if you’ve made the swap from a high-end desktop PC or gaming laptop you can make the most of the Asus ROG Ally’s hybrid design with these gadgets.
If, after all that, you don’t think the hybrid life is for you we’re also rounding up all the best gaming PCs and best gaming laptops on the market right now.
