USB Mouse/Joystick Adapter (CV black)

The ColecoVision-black version of Lundy's USB adapter, letting a modern mouse or joystick drive a console controller port.

What it gives

• Any USB joystick or pad in place of the original hand controller, whose short stick and worn centring ring are the console's most complained-about part.
• A mouse, for the handful of things that suit one.

The catch is the keypad: ColecoVision games take skill levels and options from the twelve-key pad, which a USB device does not have - so a stock controller is generally kept connected alongside, which is what Lundy's DB9 splitter and two-in-one cables are for.

The ADAM-beige version is catalogued alongside this one; the machine inside is the same.
