Connects and switches among four Apple II-compatible joysticks through a computer's external DE-9 game port.

JCM showed two adapters in stock on 2026-07-24. The host connection is DE-9 only: despite accepting two 16-pin controllers, the adapter cannot connect to a computer's internal 16-pin game socket.

AvailableChecked Jul 24, 2026IBM 15-pin to Apple 9-pin Joystick Adapterby Manila Gear

Adapts a PC-style DB-15 analog joystick to the Apple II 9-pin game-port wiring.

ReActiveMicro showed the adapter in stock and backorderable on 2026-07-24. Original Apple II and II Plus computers expose an internal 16-pin game socket, so they need a separately verified 16-pin-to-9-pin connection before this DB-9 adapter can be used.

AvailableChecked Jul 27, 2026RetroConnector USB Gaming Adapterby RetroConnector and Retro6502

Connects a driverless USB HID game controller to an Apple II game-port interface.

Retro6502 showed an Add to Cart path at $80 on 2026-07-27 and described the product as made to order. Choose the connector option that matches the computer: DIP-16 is for an internal 16-pin game socket, while DB-9 is for an external 9-pin game port. Bluetooth needs a separate compatible dongle and updated firmware. Never install or remove an internal connector while the computer is powered.
