Introducing Unijoysticle 2+

Unijoysticle 2+ For those not familiar with Unijoysticle 2, it is a device that allows you to use modern Bluetooth gamepads like Sony DualSense or Nintendo Switch controllers (to name just a few) on old computers like the Commodore 64 or Amiga. What’s new in version 2+: Case friendly: lower profile, LEDs & buttons are close the border and has mounting holes. Looks nicer: Uses SMD components for almost everything Supports buttons 2 & 3 in port #2. Some Amiga games might use them. Cheaper to manufacture. I reduced the price from $60 to $35
