The Microsoft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro has already USB support built in with the original adapter.
This USB -> Gameport adapter was in the package of the Gamepad.

But during time it is getting defect or lost.

I found out the pinout and created the adapter. You can make it yourself or order one.

USB red, 5V D-Sub15 pin 1
USB white, D- D-Sub15 pin 14
USB green, D+ D-Sub15 pin 10
USB black, GND D-Sub15 pin 4
D-Sub15 pin 2 D-Sub15 pin 7


If you want to order one, please contact me.
Cost: 11€
(+shipping, almost all countries are possible, just ask :-), except USA because of the tariffs)
