I wired a db9 connector up to my U-HID interface and it worked nice with both the 2600 joysticks and paddles.

The Legacy Engineering Atari USB joysticks work pretty well, but they need to be connected via a powered USB hub (or directly to the computer).

If you're using a hub, you mean, right? Because mine work just fine plugged in direct. Actually, I'm thinking of selling them. Interested trek?

Yes, direct works fine.  Passive (no AC power) hubs don't work, which is pretty ridiculous, but...

My guess is no, but they're cheap, so might be worth a try.
