Great stuff! Keep us informed on your progress.

Cool - could do with a USB optical mouse rather than the old-skool ball mouse I'm using :help

wXR 07 July 2014 05:19

Yeah I hope this supports mice too!

ptyerman 07 July 2014 06:48

You can use either of these to connect a USB mouse as long as it supports the PS/2 protocols. "http://amigakit.leamancomputing.com/catalog/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=adamse"
I have both and they work great with the optical USB mice I have. :great

The link seems broken from here...

Is a bigbox version in the works? I use my Kinesis on the rapidroad but it has some limitations compared to a keyboard on the native keyboard port. :-)

External version is also being prepared.

midwan 29 December 2014 10:25

Ah, ignore my previous statement, it works from here as well. :)

spudje 23 April 2015 11:56

Nice! Any news on the external version?

Higgy 24 April 2015 09:12

This looks great! Some people are so clever!

kriz 24 April 2015 11:41

Where do we buy ? I could not find any link..

lurch 24 April 2015 23:08

What would be really good is an auto switcher or something that allows two joysticks and mouse to be connected.

These work well:

I have 3 and they allow two joystick and a mouse and switch between so no need to swap cables. But if a cleaner design could be done I would be in :-)

I could really need one keyboard adapter :/ When they will be available?
