Build itChecked Jul 30, 2026C64 Joystick Switcherby tebl

Provides an open build for selecting either Commodore 64 control port from one Atari-style joystick, with optional second-fire and autofire circuits.

The repository supplies KiCad files, Gerbers, a schematic, bill of materials, and assembly guidance. Inspect the completed board for solder bridges and support it while pressing its buttons. Never move jumpers while powered or map two physical inputs to the same function. Do not connect a Sega Genesis or Mega Drive controller; the maker warns that it may damage the C64 and directs those controllers to the separate Mega Switcher.

Swaps both Commodore 64 control ports and adds a PS/2 mouse input compatible with 1351-aware software.

Sordan exposed a current Buy now control and says stocked items are ready to ship. The package includes a white 3D-printed case. The seller explicitly supports paddle controllers and says the circuit protects against static while controllers are changed, but does not publish a schematic, supported PS/2 protocol variants, USB-mouse compatibility, connector pinout, or hot-plug procedure.

Find usedChecked Jul 30, 2026C8D Joystick Switcherby Ross (vimfuego) / C8D

Swaps a Commodore computer's two control ports while preserving both digital joystick and analog mouse or paddle signals.

The surviving AmiBay production runs are closed sales archives. COREi64's former product route is currently replaced by a store-wide notice saying the shop will return in Fall 2026, so no current C8D order path is verified. The original C8D maker site also failed Tavily extraction twice after the required retry and is recorded as WF-050.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026Nunchuk64by Robert Grasboeck (djtulan)

Converts two Wii Nunchuk or NES and SNES Classic Mini controllers into the two Commodore 64 control-port inputs.

Sordan exposed a current Buy route at EUR 30.99 excluding VAT on 2026-07-30. The maker also publishes KiCad files, Gerbers, firmware, assembly instructions, printable cases, and a GPL-3.0 license, and invites direct contact for DIY kits. Controllers and wireless receivers are separate. The guide's acrylic-case tile is an enclosure accessory and is folded into this hardware family.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026Q36 Rapid Fire Modulatorby commodore4ever / Sven Petersen

Combines push-button Commodore 64 control-port selection with a dial-adjustable autofire rate.

The maker's store exposed an add-to-cart route at a USD 29.99 sale price, reduced from USD 39.99, on 2026-07-30. The public description identifies the C64 but does not publish broader host compatibility, complete signal handling, or an installation manual.

Sold outChecked Jul 30, 2026SuperPad64by ninja/dreams / Poly.play

Connects as many as eight standard SNES controllers to a Commodore 64 or 128 through its two control ports.

Poly.play listed the adapter at EUR 45 but marked it out of stock on 2026-07-30. Controllers are separate; the store's current third-party SNES pad is a commodity accessory and remains folded into this record. Poly.play's short description incorrectly says user port, while the linked original wiring document and C64 OS technical explanation both say that SuperPad64 occupies the two control ports and leaves the user port free. Confirm the supplied connector arrangement with the seller before ordering a future production run.

Sold outChecked Jul 30, 2026Trap Them Controllerby Poly.play

A modified SNES-style controller with a nine-pin Commodore plug and a software-read serial button protocol.

Poly.play listed the stand-alone controller at EUR 15 and the game-and-controller edition at EUR 35, but both were out of stock on 2026-07-30. The linked Poly.play technical wiki returned 404 and then returned the same 404 after the required 60-second retry; the dead URL is recorded in the research registry.

AvailableChecked Jul 30, 2026ZGCS Joystick Port Switcherby ZGCS

Adds push-button or controller-triggered port swapping plus four selectable autofire rates to a Commodore 64.

Tindie showed two units in stock at USD 34 on 2026-07-30. Remote swapping requires modifying a controller with two diodes and a button, or rewiring an existing button. Mouse operation is only an untested seller expectation; the documented analog support covers paddles, gamepads, and two-button joysticks.
