For older joysticks or those that need specific compatibility (like making a generic stick work in a game that only supports Xbox controllers), these "universal" tools are industry standards: Update your Xbox Wireless Controller

The problem with joystick drivers is that they can be specific to a particular device and operating system. This means that if you have a joystick that was released several years ago, you may not be able to find a driver that is compatible with your current operating system. For example, if you have a Windows 7 computer and a joystick that was released for Windows XP, you may not be able to find a driver that works.
