I found this controller a while back together with a Philips MSX system.

Has anyone seen one of these before and/or know anything about it? It seems to be of pretty good quality, possibly handmade?

It honestly looks homemade. I sure never encountered it before.

It's a mail-order only item designed for people who who lost the use of their hands so that they can still enjoy Atari games by playing with their toes.

It's funny, I never really looked at it that way, but you guys are right, it is a pretty good controller for your feet ;)
I took a closer look at it today and realized that it is very likely homemade, because one of the red buttons on the rear side is slightly lower (~1mm) than the other, and a few other small details. Overall, though, I gotta give props to the person who made it. On the back of the controller the name John v. Gorp. is slightly visible (faded, looks like somebody tried to remove the name ;)), so I guess that must be the guy who made this....you wouldn't happen to be a member here, would you John? ;)
