Need a bit of help here.
Either i found a unicorn controller that should not exsist .. or .. i just didn't know about it until now.

I found a seller listing a Gravis PC Gamepad, nothing odd about it, didn't think about it twice until out of my eye i spotted something odd when scrolling past it.
It has a DB9 plug not a Gameport.

Did i find something cool here? or is this just standart as can be?

That's very likely the Amiga/Atari ST variant.

Your right SScorpio, i've been collecting controllers for years at this point and i've never seen or heard of any varients of the Gravis Gamepad controller until now.
Hit up a few other collectors and they quickly corrected my ignorence.
They identified it as the Amiga/Atari ST varient instantly, hell they even told me about a mac varient also.
30 years and you still get surprised, neat.
