For a joystick and mouse look from ebay. I bough mine from guy from Poland.

I also modified A2000 keyboard to CDTV use. It was prety easy actually. You just need to google righ pin order for both. PS2 cable from old PC keyboard and cut one pin from it.

You might want to get newer / better CDTV roms if you want to upgrade kickstart to 3.1. Rom / Kickstart upgrade would be essential if you want to have hard drive to it.

OK

With this you can use standard usb keyboard

Joystick interface like this, will add two standard joystic ports to CDTV.

Those would be easy. If you want to complete remove CDTV's unstandard ports, that would be more difficult and you should be familiar with soldering.

Floppy drive is not a problem, you can use any external Amiga floppy drive.
