Round??? 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  ;)...

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)

as for the whole setup, i'd put a pause button on the first player.  i'm making one of these for a friend, and thats the route he went, so he could pause the game if the need was there, but so others couldn't be a nusaince.  or however you spell that. 

also, i wouldn't rotate the joystick.  it seems smart now, but your hands will never get used to it.  up should always be up on a joystick.  now for the buttons...it's all about what you feel is right.

They do...

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???
