Try a different USB cable (the Foston uses a standard USB-B to USB-A cable, which is prone to failure). Also, test on a USB 2.0 port – USB 3.0/3.1 has known compatibility issues with legacy joysticks.
Once you have confirmed you have a USB Foston Ultra controller, proceed to the next step.
However, plugging the device into a modern Windows 10 or Windows 11 PC often results in frustration: The solution is finding and installing the correct driver.
