Nice!! That's got some miles on it, for sure. I didn't get mine until a couple years ago, I like it a lot.

My first controller was the Gravis in my post pic, but not that one. Lost that one so many years ago. My second one sucked, it was a PC Propad by Performance. But my third one, that was awesome. It was a Gravis Stinger, it was serial for use with laptops, and you could also use it as a mouse. The joystick was hall effect, so it never wore out. Man, I used that from my first Compaq LTE-5300, until laptops didn't have serial ports standard anymore. Gravis made the best stuff back in the day.
