Make sure you've got a USB keyboard to hand - you shouldn't need it once set up, but you may need it during the setup process for wifi passwords etc.
Get them a ZX81 instead.
As mentioned above - old consoles are dead easy. Mine is built on the raspberry pi 3b+. Everything up to PSX works well. N64 can be a bit patchy depending on the game.
I've a few MAME games set up but I just can't be bothered with the hassle.
If you've got a gaming PC then you might want to look into the Steam app which is now available for retropie. My Steam Link died so the retropie now handles streaming duties.
If you want a retro style controller I can recommend the 8bitdo sn30 pro - basically a SNES controller with dual analogue and extra a couple of extra shoulder buttons (and can also be paired up with a Switch if you've got one).
