A standard USB mouse can be transformed into a 1351 for the C64 or a mouse for Amiga and Atari computer; a regular USB gamepad can be used as a joystick for your favorite games. The adapter can learn which buttons to use from the gamepad through its programming mode, allowing any USB device to be used as a joystick.
When in joystick mode, even a mouse can be used for games like Zak McKracken or Maniac Mansion that utilize a pointer. This way, even if the game doesn't natively support a mouse, you can still use it. The reverse is also possible: games and programs like Eye of the Beholder or GEOS that expect a mouse can be used with a joystick in mouse mode.
The adapter has a USB-C connector, so if you want to use a mouse or joystick with a standard USB (USB-A) connection, you'll need a converter. If you already have a converter, any will work just fine. However, if you don't have one and would like to purchase it along with the adapter, you can select the appropriate option.
There are two options: the classic one that works only on Commodore 64 and is with the THT board or the new version that works also for Amiga and Atari in a new beautiful SMD package.
LYNX's goal is to create a customizable computer control system that accommodates the individual needs of each user. The project stands on two pillars: open source, which provides all necessary files and instruction for self assembly, and the shop, where the tool can simply be purchased.
