The Anbernic RG35XX Pro is one of the best horizontal budget handhelds on the market, with shoulder buttons, a clean screen, and great value. A few cheap accessories protect it and extend what it can do. This guide covers the ones worth buying, in the order most people should buy them. For the full rundown on the device, read our Anbernic RG35XX Pro review.
MicroSD Card: Buy This First
Anbernic budget handhelds often ship with an unbranded microSD card, and those cards are the most common cause of corrupted saves and crashes. Swap it out before you load your library. A 128GB or 256GB Samsung EVO Select is the default pick, with fast random reads and a real warranty. For larger libraries, see our best microSD cards guide.
Case
The RG35XX Pro has an exposed screen and shoulder buttons that catch on things in a bag. A semi rigid EVA case sized for the Pro keeps the screen and buttons safe and gives you a pocket for a spare card and cable. Search by the exact model name to get a case shaped for the Pro rather than a generic one.
Screen Protector
The Pro ships with a basic film. A glass protector cut for the RG35XX Pro screen resists scratches from keys and coins and feels smoother. A two pack is cheap insurance and gives you a spare for when the first one picks up a scratch.
TV Output and a Controller
The RG35XX Pro has a Mini HDMI port, so you can play on a TV. Note the port type. You need a Mini HDMI to HDMI cable, not a USB-C adapter. Plug the Mini HDMI end into the handheld and the standard end into your TV, then pair a Bluetooth controller like the 8BitDo SN30 Pro for comfortable couch play.
Charging on the Go
This is a low power device, so a small 10,000mAh USB-C power bank gives you many full charges for very little weight. Add a quality USB-C cable and you are set for travel. See our best power banks guide for details.
What You Do Not Need
- A cooling fan. The RG35XX Pro runs cool. There is nothing to cool.
- AR glasses. Even where a budget Anbernic outputs video, the experience is built around a TV, not USB-C DisplayPort glasses. Save those for an Android flagship or Steam Deck.
