Handheld accessories are not universally interchangeable. Port location, charging protocol, physical dimensions, display output, cable rating, and vent clearance can change between Steam Deck, Steam Deck OLED, ROG Ally, ROG Ally X, and Legion Go. Match the product to the exact model—not just the phrase “handheld gaming PC.”
