Best accessories for the Surface Pro 9 in 2023

The Surface Pro 9 is one of the very best Windows tablets you can buy today, and that's not a huge surprise. Microsoft has been making the Surface Pro series for over 10 years now, and the latest version comes with the latest and greatest hardware, plus some beautiful new colors to choose from. But it's not a perfect device, and it actually has a lot of shortcomings. You can always make your experience better with a laptop by using a few accessories, and we've rounded up a few great ones for the Surface Pro 9.

Keep in mind, the Surface Pro 9 only has two Thunderbolt 4 ports (regular USB Type-C on the 5G models) and a Surface Connect port, so any wired accessories are likely going to require an adapter or docking station. We're going to start with those because they might be so essential to everything else. Still, we're also going to focus on wireless devices as much as possible so you don't have to worry about ports.

• Londo Top Grain Leather Sleeve

  Premium leather sleeve

  This Londo sleeve is designed for MacBooks, but it's the perfect size for the Surface Pro 9 — including a Signature Keyboard if you have it. It uses genuine leather, and it looks great in a variety of different patterns, so you can choose your favorite style.

• Supcase UB Pro for Surface Pro 9

  Promoted pick

  In partnership with Supcase

  The Supcase UB Pro is a great case that provides all-around protection for the Surface Pro 9, with ruggedized bumpers and a built-in kickstand to prop up the screen while keeping the table safe.

• Infiland Crystal Clear Case

  Clear case

  The Infiland crystal clear case is a great way to protect your Surface Pro 9 from drops and bumps while letting its original color shine through, so you can still show it off.

• Microsoft Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock

  Thunderbolt dock

  The Surface Thunderbolt 4 Dock is the official Thunderbolt dock from Microsoft, featuring a sleek design and multiple ports, including Thunderbolt downstream ports, USB Type-A, Ethernet, and a headphone jack, which the Surface Pro 9 is missing. It won't fully work with the 5G model, however.

• Plugable USB-C 4K Triple Display Docking Station

  Great alternative dock

  The Plugable UD-ULTC4K is a great alternative if you have Surface Pro 9 with 5G, which lacks Thunderbolt. The dock can drive three 4K displays at once, plus it has a lot of USB ports, Ethernet, and card readers, and it works with most modern laptops.

• Dell UltraSharp U2723QE

  Premium 4K monitor

  $625 $780 Save $155

  There are plenty of 4K monitors out there, but the Dell UltraSharp U2723QE is special thanks to its use of IPS Black, which delivers twice the contrast ratio of typical IPS panels while keeping the great viewing angles. It also doubles as a USB hub and it has great color coverage.

• Acer SB240Y

  Budget monitor

  $120 $130 Save $10

  Need some extra space to work without spending a lot of money? The Acer SB240Y is a great option. This is a 24-inch IPS panel with Full HD resolution, and it has a 75Hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync support. It costs a little over $100, though it does require an adapter for HDMI.

• Innocn Portable Monitor

  Two screens anywhere

  $150 $250 Save $100

  You can take your dual-screen setup anywhere you go with the Innocn portable monitor. This is 13.3-inch Full HD panel, but the standout feature here is that it uses OLED, so you get true blacks and vivid colors you don't see on other portable monitors. And it's fairly cheap for what it offers, too.

• Razer Core X Chroma

  External GPU

  The Razer Core X Chroma is arguably the best external GPU enclosure on the market. It has a 750W PSU that can provide up to 500W to your GPU, plus charge your laptop at 100W. It supports triple-slot GPUs, so most modern cards should work. It also has some fancy RGB lighting, if you're into that.

• Microsoft Surface Pro Signature Keyboard with Slim Pen 2

  Make it a laptop

  The Surface Pro Signature Keyboard complements the Surface Pro 9 with a keyboard and trackpad to make it feel more like a laptop. This bundle also includes the Surface Slim Pen 2 for drawing and writing.

• Microsoft Mobile Mouse

  A sleek mouse

  The Microsoft Mobile Mouse is great if you want a more traditional mouse. It even comes in the same colors as the Surface Pro 9 to create the perfect match. It uses a BlueTrack sensor, and the ambidextrous design makes it easy to use for anyone.

• Surface Headphones 2

  Sleek headphones

  $233 $250 Save $17

  It might seem obvious considering they're both Surface products, but the Surface Headphones 2 still deliver great audio quality. More importantly, they have very intuitive volume and ANC controls thanks to the dials built into each earcup.

  Extra storage
