I ran across this yesterday:

https://github.com/dekuNukem/USB4VC

It combines a Raspberry Pi with an adapter board to connect USB input
devices to older computers. Two adapter board designs are provided: one
provides PS/2 keyboard and mouse, serial mouse, and gameport joystick
compatibility, while the other provides ADB keyboard and mouse
compatibility. The latter would be useful with a IIGS, but it should be
possible to devise a new adapter board to work with the Apple II joystick
port, or maybe even replace the keyboard (probably easier for the II and II+
than for the IIe).
