I'm not sure i know what you mean by "round", but DB15 has 15 pins, and can be had from RadioShack for about 1.50-2$ each... Hope that's round enough for ya ;)... --- End quote --- i want the connector to be a circle, opposed to the wide db connectors (i'll draw a picture if you need me to explain more) |

The only connector i know of that has more than 13 pins and is round (more like square), is a 15 pin molex (or interlocking), although they are hard to use and are gennerally really ugly... EDIT: BTW, how are you gonna use plastic for the controllers??? --- End quote --- vacuum forming i hope |
