djglish Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I have Atari St keyboard working through a Arduino Leonardo to use as a keyboard with a Windows PC. The coding I used doesn't include functionality for the mouse or joystick. Does anyone here know if someone has done this? I've put together a Windows PC in an old Atari ST case and would like to be able to use the original mouse and joysticks with it. I know there are adapters to use the joysticks with Windows but I don't know about the mouse. I do have an Atari mouse casing that I could put a Windows mouse into but using the original might be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I don't think that using original mouse will be easier. Need to design converter of it's signals to PS2 or rather to USB. Maybe if find specific mouse where X-Y signals are present and go to converter chip. Still, it will be very old Atari mouse, with hardened ball for instance, not promising long life. I think that putting modern mouse sensor, electronic in Atari mouse case will be simpler (not very simple) and will last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
