That looks fun, exactly what adapter is it you used for this? And for some reason your accent cracks me up on all of your videos.

It´s not mass produced if that´s what you´re asking. ;)

I really only speak English when I make these videos... and very, very rarely at work so I´m working on it but I suppose I will always sound very...Fingrish :)

Very cool. I wonder if there's a nice way to interface to the C64 keyboard for games that need a keyboard button. Although I was also just reading that some games used the C64 joystick port's analog inputs to read extra buttons, I wonder if that was common.

Random note, all I've been playing on my C64 is LeMans, even with dirty Atari paddles it's good brainless fun :)

Paddles as in analogue controllers? Didn´t even know such things worked with c64. That said, based on youtube footage I have a faint memory of that lemans game from back in the day and I´m going to test it :)

The Neo having straight button inputs into a DB15 is so awesome, one of my little favorite details about the system. My arcade sticks work on my Neo, Neo CD, supergun and soon Dreamcast and TG16 because of this.
