Hi, and thanks in advance.
The Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro Plus is a gameport-only device, but my computers have USB ports. I am thinking about buying one of these adapters:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Joystick-Converter-15-pin-Game-Port-to-USB-000925/381195952952?epid=1737805151&hash=item58c10ca338:g:vWQAAOSwxixaHbwW
Will either of these work with this joystick? Or should I sell it and buy the USB version?
Here is the Product ID of the Sidewinder: 97462-579-0239831-00000
My computers are running Windows 8.1 [laptop] and Windows 8.0 [desktop].
I can provide any additional information if necessary. Thanks again.
