Wii U Pro controller is just plainly a fantastic controller.  I have no good reason for having purchased as many as I did, but they work with the 8bitdo SNES wireless adapter

The only thing I don't like about the Wii U Pro controller is how the right thumbstick is above the face buttons. Maybe that's something I'll get used to with time through. They changed it back to the standard layout with the Switch Pro controller which I find interesting

Yeah, it does make it a little bit slower to switch your fingers from messing with your camera view on the right thumbstick to the action buttons. I'm used to the PS/XBox controllers where that thumbstick is below the face-buttons.

But it is a small complaint, it's something I can deal with.

Not gonna argue, because that's all true, but the button placement makes it pretty great for retro games.

Yeah, I can think of a couple examples where I appreciated having my thumb on the stick while being able to use my pointer finger to press the action button. Reloading while moving in Call of Duty and firing a missile while maneuvering in Ace Combat come to mind. Other than that, not a dealbreaker.

A Dell Inspiron 15 7567 laptop for when I go overseas.

This thing games pretty well for the price. Can handle  heavily modded Fallout 4 with a solid 40-50 FPS.
