 I was housecleaning and I exhumed a Gravis USB GamePad Pro. It looks
 like a dark grey PS2 gamepad with the secondary buttons missing, but
 its connector is USB 1.1.

 I believe I bought it around 10 years ago, late in the Classic Era. I
 am sure it was designed to work with the then-current Game Sprockets
 in the Mac OS.

 Is this relic of any current use anymore, or should it be (sigh)
 consigned to the dustbin of history?

As it's a USB device, I'll wager it could well work as is; at the very  
least USBOverdrive will let you do what you want with it.
