it looks like the PC stick's button wiring.
The mods mentioned above are not difficult, especially if you swap in
a PC cable. If you want to be able to use the stick on an Apple II, then
some kind of switching will be required.
Apple II Joystick
(9-pin male connector) (Old 16-pin IC-style plug)
[2]--------------- +5V ------- 1
[7]--------------- Button 0 ------- 2
[5]--------------- X-axis ------- 6
[8]--------------- Y-axis ------- 10
[1]--------------- Button 1 ------- 3
[3]--------------- Ground ------ 8
PC Joystick
(15-pin female connector)
[1]--------------- +5V
[2] -------------- Button 0
[3] -------------- X-axis
[6] -------------- Y-axis
[7] -------------- Button 1
[4] and/or [5] Ground
Both sticks tie one end of each X, Y potentiometer to +5 and send the
center (wiper) to the an output. (Or the wiper may go to +5V and an end
to the output; it doesn't much matter.) The standard Apple II pot is 150K
Ohms; most PC sticks use 100k Ohm pots.
The buttons are wired differently.
On the Apple II stick (see below), each button switch goes to +5V.
The other end goes to GND through a resistor (one resistor for each
button). A button's Output is from the junction of the switch and its
resistor. When the button switch is not closed, its Output is near 0V
(=logic 0). Pressing a button sends +5V to the output (= logic 1).

As shown below, a PC stick button Output is normally an unconnected
wire. Most likely, inside the computer, a PC or compatible Game Port has
this line tied to a 1k-3k resistor going to +5V. So, the line will
normally be at something close to +5V (= logic 1). Pressing the button
grounds the line and pulls it down near to 0V (= logic 0).
