Be careful... just because a joystick or gamepad has a 15-pin connector doesn't mean that it will work with the OI. Many modern joysticks, even with an old-school connector, use an incompatible protocol, such as the Microsoft Sidewinder. The older the joystick, the more likely it will work, but there are no guarantees.
