Game Port (DB15) to USB Adapter (Bliss-Box Universal Adapter)

Connect your original Game Port (DB15) joystick, flight stick, or gamepad directly to a modern USB device using the Bliss-Box Universal Adapter. Ideal for retro PC gamers, flight sim enthusiasts, and vintage arcade fans, this adapter preserves the authentic feel of your classic controllers while providing full USB compatibility.

How the Game Port to USB Adapter Works

The Bliss-Box adapter automatically detects DB15 analog or digital controllers and converts their inputs into standard USB gamepad signals. Simply plug your joystick or controller into the DB15 input cable, then connect the USB output to your PC or console. No drivers or extra software required — true plug-and-play functionality.
