Best ‘Works with Chromebook’ accessories 2024

Best slim Bluetooth or wireless mouse

Trackpads are okay, but nothing beats a good mouse! This mouse has a nice slim shape that makes it easy to slip into your bag and go. You can either use it with Bluetooth or use the tiny Wireless receiver that stores underneath the mouse’s magnetic top plate.

Best lightweight mouse

The Logitech Signature M650 mouse has been around for years, and it remains a staple in Logitech’s lineup. It’s easily one of the most comfortable ways to interact with your Chromebook, and you can use it with Bluetooth or the included dongle.

Best premium trackball mouse

Yes, this one is much more expensive than the others, but the buttery smooth scrolling experience will have you relishing in every penny you spent on it. Connect it via Bluetooth or using the included adapter. Enjoy the low-profile, comfortable design for both right- and left-handed use, requiring less arm and wrist movement than a traditional mouse.

Best memory card

You get a lot of bang for your buck with the EVO Select, which comes in sizes from 64GB all the way up to 512GB. If your Chromebook doesn’t have enough space, or you want to store everything you own, this microSD card has you covered.

Most affordable memory card

There’s nothing wrong with the Samsung EVO Select card, but you might have better luck finding the SanDisk Ultra on sale since it’s an older model but still worth considering. This lineup of microSD cards ranges in size from 16GB to 512GB. Just make sure you know how much your Chromebook can handle. 

Best external storage device

Unfortunately, it seems that some Chromebook makers are ditching the inclusion of a microSD card slot. Even if that isn’t the case for your next Chromebook, it doesn’t hurt to have another portable storage solution. The WD My Passport is available in an ample 2TB capacity, more than enough to store everything you’d need.

Best Made for Chrome keyboard

Chrome OS function keys are hard to come by on a Bluetooth keyboard without spending tons of money or getting custom keycaps, but Logitech offers a version specifically for Chromebooks! It also has a numeric keypad and the ability to quickly switch between two devices. 

Get the basics

This combo kit from ASUS includes both a wired mouse and keyboard. It’s designed with ChromeOS at heart, as evidenced by the “Everything” key which replaces the Caps Lock. You won’t find any crazy or unique features but instead can enjoy a “set it and forget it” solution. 

Best slim and compact keyboard

If you need something small, the Macally 2.4G wireless keyboard is slim and compact. It comes with a dongle for wireless connection to your Chromebook and a 78-key layout with a dozen shortcut buttons. It’s designed to be plug-and-play with virtually any device that has a USB-A port and comes with the single AAA battery required to get you started. 

Best stylus

Lenovo offers quite a few ‘Works with Chromebook’ accessories, but its USI Pen is likely the most popular. With the exception of the 2022 Duet 3, this stylus will work with most recently-released Chromebook models, but make sure to verify before purchase. 

Best premium stylus

With the Penoval USI150 Stylus Pen, you’re getting a similar design to that of the Lenovo USI Pen, just from a different company. Made of premium aluminum alloy with fast USB-C charging, keep in mind that as a USI 2.0 stylus, this will only work with compatible Chromebooks, but these include models from brands like Lenovo, Acer, and Samsung.

Best accessory for graphic designers

While many of the best Chromebooks offer a touchscreen complete with USI support, it’s not always a precise experience. That’s where the Wacom Intuos S with Bluetooth comes in, as this drawing tablet is excellent for graphic designers, or for the classroom.

Best back-up charger

While there are a lot of USB-C chargers out there, not all of them are part of the ‘Works with Chromebook’ program. That’s not a problem with the Lenovo 65W Power Adapter, as this will easily charge pretty much any Chromebook you come across.

Best docking station

If you need a docking station to connect your Chromebook to a monitor, it doesn’t get much better than the Acer D501 Docking Station. There are plenty of ports, including Ethernet, USB-C HDMI, and even DisplayPort. The only “requirement” is that your Chromebook will need a USB 3.1 port available. 

Best USB-C hub

When it comes to connecting peripherals to your Chromebook on the go, you’ll want a USB-C hub. The HyperDrive Chrome 5-in-1 USB-C Hub makes it easy to plug in almost all of your accessories, and it’s verified to work with ChromeOS devices.

Best 4K monitor

Many of the best Chromebooks offer beautiful displays, but they aren’t perfect to work from a desk, especially if you need a larger screen. This 27-inch monitor from HP features a 4K resolution, has a height- and tilt-adjustable stand, and there are practically no bezels on three out of the four sides.

Best gaming monitor

Mainstream gaming is getting closer to fruition for Chromebooks, so why not get yourself ready with this gaming monitor? The LG UltraGear monitor offers QHD resolution and sports a 144Hz refresh rate. ChromeOS is bringing support for faster refresh rates, making this a perfect monitor for pretty much anybody.

Best second screen

Chromebooks are nice and portable, but that also means they don’t have huge screens. When you’re at a desk, being able to connect up a second screen can greatly boost your productivity — or at least let you watch Twitch fullscreen while doing your homework.

Best desktop Bluetooth speakers

One of the biggest problems with many Chromebooks is that the built-in speakers are just not good. If you’re working from home, the Logitech Z407 fixes that problem for you, as it even includes a subwoofer and wireless controls. Plus, there are multiple inputs for you to connect other devices.

Best wireless earbuds

One of the coolest features to come to Chromebooks is support for Fast Pair with Bluetooth devices. The Pixel Buds A-Series are a good go-to solution that’s affordable yet functional. If you’re willing to spend more, you can always upgrade to the Pixel Buds Pro. 

Best USB microphone

This retro-styled USB microphone isn’t super fancy or super expensive, but Blue makes great mics and this one is perfect for better audio than the built-in mic during video calls, doing voiceover, or recording your podcast. There’s no built-in headphone jack, but almost all Chromebooks have those.

Best printer

No matter what we try to do, there’s still an occasional need for a printer. The HP Envy Inspire 7955e makes it easy to print, copy, or scan from your Chromebook, and your phone. 

Best charging cable

This is the USB-C cable I carry most often for charging my Chromebooks and my Android phones, as it’s a high-quality cable with a handy magnetic and velcro carrying wrap. That wrap and the braided cable sheathing should help this cable last for years to come.

Best gaming controller

Instead of relying on a keyboard and mouse, or even the touchscreen, why not game a bit more comfortably? The SteelSeries Stratus Duo is a tried-and-true controller that works with practically every device you own.
