You've got to be careful when buying joysticks. In the "old" days, joysticks had a maximum of 4 axes and 8 buttons. Nowadays, DirectX supports up to 8 axes and 32 buttons. The problem is, our control system only supports 4/4, and each axis/button needs its own pin on the connector. This is not the case with most joysticks anymore.
