For a while now there have been rumors that a new Lenovo Legion Go model is on its way, yet today Lenovo surprised us with a suite of accessories that are designed to take your existing Legion Go gaming handheld to the next level. Specifically, Lenovo is expanding its Legion Go ecosystem with a range of new gaming monitors and accessories.

Legion Go Monitors

First up, let’s talk about the new monitors. Lenovo is introducing two curved beauties: the 27-inch Legion R27qc-30 and the 31.5-inch Legion R32qc-30. Both sport a 1500R curvature that’s designed to wrap around your field of vision, potentially making those long gaming sessions more immersive and comfortable.

Both monitors can crank it up to 180Hz, which is music to the ears of any competitive gamer. Pair that with a 0.5ms MPRT response time, and you’ve got a recipe for buttery-smooth gameplay with minimal ghosting.

Color reproduction looks solid too. The 27-inch model covers 120% of the sRGB color space and 90% of DCI-P3, while the larger 31.5-inch variant handles 112% of sRGB. For connectivity, you’re looking at two HDMI 2.1 ports and a DisplayPort 1.4, so you can hook up multiple devices without a sweat.

Oh, and did I mention they have built-in speakers? While they’re not going to replace a dedicated audio setup, the dual 3W speakers could come in handy for casual use or as a backup.

Legion Go Accessories: Dock and Roll

The star of the show might be the Legion Go USB-C Dock. This little gadget turns your Legion Go into a mini desktop setup when you’re not on the move. It’s packing a 100W max USB-C power port, Ethernet, HDMI 2.0 (supporting 4K at 60Hz), and several USB ports. It’s like a Swiss Army knife for your handheld.

For those times when you want to use the detachable controllers as a single unit, there’s the Legion Go Charging Connector. Not only does it combine the controllers, but it also charges them. Plus, its onboard battery can fully juice up both controllers when they’re running low.

Lenovo hasn’t forgotten about protection and portability either. The Legion Go Carry Case looks like it’ll keep your device safe with its hard shell and dual-zip design. There’s even a clapboard to protect the screen and pockets for accessories.

And for the FPS and racing game enthusiasts, Lenovo is offering new joysticks and joystick caps. They promise better grip and precision control when you’re in the heat of battle or tearing up the virtual tracks.

As a nice little bonus, Lenovo is also introducing the Multi-Device Bluetooth Mini Keyboard. This ultra-thin, 75% layout keyboard weighs just 180g and can connect to up to three devices. It’s compatible with Windows, Android, and iPadOS, making it a versatile addition to your tech arsenal.
