Back in the day there was a Pyramid Mouse switcher.

Here's an example of what it looks like on Ebay-GB:

I don't suppose you have a spare one lying around?

I surly have PCB left and case as well. I can solder one up for you and fit it in a case during Christmas holidays or do you want to do it all yourself?

Sorry, missed to reply to this. I have to come back to you about that, but probably under 25euro. How long do you want the cord to be from the switch to your Atari? It should not be that long due to voltage drop. Mine I tested with was 65cm and worked. But I could do up to 170cm but I wouldn't recommend it.

where are you?
and about just long enough to fit in mouse port and stay in front of ST like a wrist rest?
Will that cost include p and p and vat?

And is it possible to have mouse on the right and joystick from front or left?
