I made a PCB recently using EasyEDA and ordering from JLCPCB. It can be purchased from here:

The PC Gameport Party allows you to use your vintage PC’s gameport to its maximum use case scenario.
Instead of having separate cabling solutions that would allow
-plug 2 joysticks at once
-use MIDI out* to a synth module
-use MIDI in* with a playing keyboard controller
… it lets you do ALL of them at once. No more unplugging and replugging dedicated cables.
Possible uses:
-Use a normal joystick on the player 1 socket
-Use a complicated flight stick with multiple analog axes and up to 4 buttons on the player 1 socket
-Use two normal joysticks on the player 1 and 2 sockets (must slide the switch to the 2 players mode)
-Play back MIDI music from your favorite early 90’s DOS/Windows games without sacrificing the usage of your joystick(s)
-Compose music in MS-DOS and windows sequencing programs
Notes:
* the gameport must be MPU-401 compatible in order to use MIDI functionality. This is achieved on Sound Blaster 16 era sound cards for example, or equivalent clones. This is an excellent external guide on the topic: https://www.dosdays.co.uk/topics/pc_midi.php
**you must source your own DB15 cable M (goes into PC) to F (goes into the PC gameport party, this product here)
