The adapter can learn which buttons to use from the gamepad through its programming mode, allowing any USB device to be used as a joystick.
When in joystick mode, even a mouse can be used for games like Zak McKracken or Maniac Mansion that utilize a pointer. This way, even if the game doesn't natively support a mouse, you can still use it. The reverse is also possible: games and programs like Eye of the Beholder or GEOS that expect a mouse can be used with a joystick in mouse mode.
The adapter has a USB-C connector, so if you want to use a mouse or joystick with a standard USB (USB-A) connection, you'll need a converter. If you already have a converter, any will work just fine. However, if you don't have one and would like to purchase it along with the adapter, you can select the appropriate option.
