Using Microsoft Sidewinder Pro Precision?
I found one of these for free and instantly thought, "Maybe I can use this for FRC!" Unfortunately, upon looking at the port, it turned out to be a very strange 9-pin gameport connector (I initially thought it was RS-232 until looking at the very odd arrangement of the pins.) Does anyone with experience with this controller know if there is an adapter for the strange 9-pin connector on the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro? This joystick feels a lot more fluid than my Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.
