I have the Mouster adapter, and it works quite well.  I can even use a PS5 controller as a joystick on my 64 with it.  The recent patch to fixing the C1351 timing means I can use a Logitech Mx Master 2 with it using the Logitech unifying receiver.  So I use a wireless laser mouse on my 48Mhz GEOS 3.3MP on the Ultimate 64...

The company 8BitDo manufacturers receivers that plug into various game consoles, including Sega MegaDrive, which could apparently be converted to MSX (which might be close enough to Atari 2600 and our beloved machines) using this adapter: https://www.msx.org/wiki/JoyMega
