If you're going to offer laptops on the list, why are there no laptop sleeves?

I usually get this one. No nonsense and comes in a few colors. Amazon Basics Laptop Sleeve - $10.99

I'll take a page from the mobile gamer guide and add the [8bitdo SN-30 Pro controller]. A lot of laptops have a Bluetooth antenna built in, and dongles are pretty cheap for those that don't.

With the number of racing games I play, analog controls are key. The nostalgia form factor is pretty sweet, too!
