This accessory, by JSAUX, turns the Legion Go’s Joy-Cons into a proper “one-piece” gamepad.

It’s a 3-piece set that comes with a grip that connects joy-cons together, a “condom” that makes it more grippy and provides protection, and a base for mouse mode.

Now I’d personally prefer something wider. But again, this is for my wife—and narrow is her preference.

But I played it for an hour, and it’s actually quite comfortable. It feels surprisingly natural, especially with the grips.

Along with the dock, this grip now makes the Legion Go into a Switch 2 killer because, to me, what makes the Switch 2 what it is are the detachable joy-cons. And so far, the Legion Go is the only major handheld on the market that features detachable joy-cons.

One gripe: Lenovo doesn’t include the dock or grip. I had to buy them separately—$37 for the grip, $30 for the dock. Not outrageous, but still annoying, especially since they ship from third parties.

Hopefully, more PC manufacturers get on board with detachable joy-cons because I'd hate for the Legion Go to be the only one of its kind.

Has anyone tried installing SteanOS or another gaming Linux distro on it like Bazzite, Nobara, Holo, or Chimera?

Do the wireless joy cons work?

I've installed Bazzite on the Legion Go. Not only do the wireless joy-cons work flawlessly, they actually work better than on Windows 11. Bazzite is a huge upgrade.
