Hey everyone! I finally managed to get my hands on the new ROG Ally X and I am absolutely loving the ergonomics and that massive 80Wh battery. It is a huge step up from the original model, but I have a long international flight coming up soon and I know I am still going to need some extra juice for those heavy AAA games like Cyberpunk.
I am looking for recommendations on two specific accessories to round out my kit:
Does anyone have a setup they are currently using with their Ally X? I want to make sure whatever I buy fits perfectly and handles the heat well. What are the best power bank and screen protector options you have found so far?
How many hours of juice you lookin for? The Anker 737 Power Bank 24000mAh 140W handles the Ally X perfectly tho, and amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for ROG Ally has a solid alignment tool.
Congrats on the pickup! The Ally X is a beast but yeah, that battery still needs help on long hauls. I’m pretty conservative when it comes to accessories because I dont want to fry a $800 handheld, so I usually stick to brands that have a solid track record for safety. For the power bank, I’d highly recommend the UGREEN Nexode 145W Power Bank 25000mAh. I did a bit of a market analysis before buying mine and this one consistently stays cooler than some of the cheaper brands during long Turbo mode sessions. It handles 100W output easily, so it’ll definitely charge the Ally X while you’re playing Cyberpunk without breaking a sweat. Plus, the build quality feels premium and sturdy for travel. Regarding the screen, if you want the absolute easiest installation, go with the Spigen Glas.tR EZ Fit Screen Protector for ROG Ally. The alignment tool is basically foolproof—it’s a plastic frame that fits over the whole device so you can't mess it up. It’s not a full matte anti-glare, but honestly, those matte ones often make the screen look a bit grainy or fuzzy. The Spigen glass is super clear and doesn't seem to attract as many fingerprints as the bare screen. Just make sure you get a good cable too, like the UGREEN 100W USB-C to USB-C Cable 6.6ft, just to be safe. Better to be cautious than sorry with high-wattage gear imo!
Nice pickup! I've been using the Baseus Blade Power Bank 100W 20000mAh for a while now. It's easily the most cost-effective option that actually supports the high speeds you need. For the screen, honestly just go with the JSAUX Anti-Glare Screen Protector for ROG Ally 2-Pack. It includes a plastic alignment frame so you wont get any bubbles or crooked edges. Simple and cheap.
Good to know!
Seconded!
