Print yourself a custom Lenovo Legion Go case and transform the handheld into a touchscreen laptop
Table of Contents
While the Lenovo Legion Go is designed to be your perfect PC handheld partner, we all like our devices to be multi-purpose. With that in mind, what if you could turn your PC handheld into a mini PC or laptop? That way, whenever you have some quick productivity tasks to handle, you can tackle them on your Legion Go and switch back to your main work machines when you’re done gaming.
That’s where custom mods come in. Whether you want a GoPro mount that lets you set up your Steam Deck anywhere or an ergonomic faceplate mod that fixes the Legion Go’s comfort issue, mods allow you to customize your handheld to your needs and preferences. And for those who want productivity alongside gaming, it’s time to bring out the 3D printer.
The ultimate hybrid setup?
The ‘ultimate hybrid setup‘ mod turns your handheld into a mini laptop by fitting the screen on one side while the bottom has space for a slim, wireless keyboard (it looks like you’ll have to provide this yourself). The chassis also features cutouts for USB-C ports, allowing you to connect your own peripherals if the built-in keyboard isn’t sufficient. You also have strategically placed ventilation slots to keep temperatures stable and ensure performance remains unaffected.
While there aren’t many details about the printing material used in this, it looks like some refinements are still needed. But the case itself appears sturdy, with a holder at the top for easy carrying and a Legion Go logo embossed on the back. The case is specifically designed to fit the Lenovo Legion Go and doesn't require you to remove your controllers, so when you're done using it as a mini laptop, you can easily take it out and switch back to gaming.
Don’t have a 3D printer but still want a custom case?
That said, this custom case is only for those who own a 3D printer and want a fun project to work on to give their Lenovo Legion Go a bit more functionality. Fortunately, for those who don’t own a 3D printer, this isn’t the only custom case that turns your handheld into a productivity powerhouse, as over on Etsy, you can find a similar one for $59.99. There are some key differences between the two, with the biggest being that this version does not have room for the controllers. However, the $60 case looks much more polished than the one on Printables, and it even comes in a new White colorway.
Ultimately, the choice comes down to whether you want a ready-made solution and don’t mind spending a few bucks or if you’re up for a 3D printing project. The Printables page for this custom case includes all 14 files you’ll need to print yourself, and while you are at it, you can also add a few refinements of your own to make it even better. From what we can tell, the keyboard is
