Hello, I want to inform you about my latest project: a rotary dial numpad for the VIC-20 and C64.
Now you may think I'm gone completely crazy as this makes no sense at all, but that's part of the fun in this project.
I made a small video for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Hngsjan92Y
The build isn't difficult, the 3D design files are on my website, along with the software drivers and source code for the VIC-20 and C64:

Please don't take it all to seriously, although it's all meant as a joke, everything shown does actually work!
Kind regards,
Jan

I am determined to make an application for this peripheral! Great job! I have been using my vic 20 in art shows and making custom (very simple) thematic controllers for each project. I love the idea of a controller only having one game (like Indy 500 for the Atari 2600). This one I made is just an arcade button (with the actual computer behind the wall):
