items I’m a big gamer and while I do have a full setup at home it doesn’t hurt to have a travel setup for those downtime when you’re on the road. I’ve gone through various iterations and gear and found one that works for me. Still looking for the best adap...

Portable gaming devices
This is by far my favorite handheld. I’ve tried the steam deck and a win GPD but this one feels just right for me. The device isn’t too big and isn’t too heavy and packs a punch. This runs on windows OS which some people may see as a negative but as ...
ROG Ally X (2024) | Gaming Handhelds｜ROG Global
Great little ultra mini laptop that can run some less intensive games. It’s got a built in keyboard and mouse though not the most comfortable, it’s great for small tasks. I’d still recommend using a keyboard and mouse if you need to do some work. A b...
GPD Win Mini 2025 AMD AI 370 32GB 2TB
Light and easy to use. What else can you want. I’m pretty deep in the Apple eco system with iPads, iPhones, and whatever iPad product you can think of so this one is perfect for me. Although I typically prefer using windows OS, I prefer to code on th...

Keep that device in tip top shape
This case is thin and keeps your device safe. I’ve dropped the ally before and it chipped from a 1 ft fall. This thing protects it and I have yet to see any damages. This has a built in kickstand on the back and I’ve done additional modifications for...
ROG Ally X Cases » Killswitch » dbrand
I put my mouse and mousepad in this when I travel but it can double as a mousepad if needed. I do play shooter games here and there so it isn’t ideal for that.

I prefer keyboard and mouse over a controlle
Great little keyboard to take on the go if you really want a mechanical keyboard and/or to minimize latency. Using the ROG software you can link both the mice and keyboard onto one dongle which is a plus for me. It does come with a case but doesn’t c...
ROG Falchion RX Low Profile Gaming Keyboard
Lightweight and easy to carry around. Like the protoarc keyboard this one is smaller than a traditional keyboard but doesn’t fold so it feels more structured when typing. It uses a cell battery that lasts a long time as long as you don’t forget to tu...
Keys-To-Go 2 for iPad
One of my ultralight keyboard I bring with me when I travel. This one is Bluetooth only but folds in half so it takes up less space. Keep in mind that this keyboard is smaller and not a standard size so it’s not meant for extremely long hours of typi...
XK04 Foldable Compact Bluettooth Keyboard
Though not my favorite mouse, it it my go to when I travel and game on the go. This one pairs on one dongle with the ROG keyboard and it’s small enough that it doesn’t take up too much precious space in my bag. A bit smaller than a standard mice but ...
ROG Harpe Ace Mini Gaming Mouse | Ambidextrous - ASUS
My favorite mouse to game on. This one is super responsive and light and feels great to the touch. I’ve tried and own all the popular ones and some unknown brands and this one I keep coming back to. Pair this up with their thick foam mouse pad and th...
LAMZU MAYA X
It’s a compact mousepad. Does the job and it’s small and compact perfect for travel. Even if it creases the lines go away after a bit of use.
Razer Goliathus Speed Small Gaming Mousepad
This works great for work and travel with a screen that’s big enough and still fits on the makeshift stand. Fairly high refresh rate at a reasonable price.
UPERFECT 16" 2K 120Hz Portable Gaming Monitor
When I want to pack extra light I bring these instead of a monitor. This displays a large screen but it follows your vision. I personally can’t use this for extended amount of time as it gives me motion sickness but it has improved over time so your ...

My makeshift portable stand
This one looks a bit funky for a power strip but it is a life saver for travel. It’s ultra compact and has a universal adaptor in the middle that pops right out when needed.
MOGICS Super Bagel (White)
This one is a strange one as it’s designed for phones to be mounted, however you can use this to hold up the rog ally. I’ve tried others and this is the only one strong enough to keep it up without falling. It’s capable of holding up a portable 16 in...
Sirui Magnetic Phone Tripod Mount Adapter with 3 Adhesive Rings for iPhone 15-12 Series
With a few additional pieces this becomes an extremely portable mount. Originally I used this to mount a portable monitor but I didn’t want to bring it around since it was too bulky so I decided to mount my ally directly on it. Used it when I travel ...
ULANZI MT-16 Extendable Mini Camera Tripod
It’s just a magnetic plate but it works. Doesn’t look the best but can keep the ally propped up.
volport Metal Phone Magnet Plates 10 Pack
Tried upgrading my old setup and I’m proud to say I did it. This one is a bit shorter but the quality is much better and sturdier. Combine this with the mount it can be used with so many more accessories
ULANZI MT-46 Aluminum Camera Tripod w/ F38
Ok this thing is so versatile I’ve bought 3 of them already. I use this to hold my adaptor on my ally so it doesn’t put a strain on the cable. I can also use it to hold a battery pack if necessary. If you happen to have a magnetic light you can slap ...

Use this to connect to your sunshine enabled device. While this will typically only connect on your local network, you can use a software to create a tunnel to access it from anywhere while keeping your data safe. This works on pretty much all operat...
Moonlight Game Streaming: Play Your PC Games Remotely
Set this up on your computer and you can access it from anywhere. It’s fairly simple setup on a windows device but a bit janky on MacOS. There is no cost and you host it locally so you have full control of your settings.
