Old Peripherals On New Windows: What Worked For You?

hmmmm ok i have an old game controller still in great shape. It still works physically, but Windows doesnt fully support it, and teh Logitech support page lists Webcam C250 Driver and Software 2.80 only for newer models. Has anyone gotten similar old devices working on current Windows?? Id love to keep using it if possible, but Id rather not install sketchy drivers from random sites. Thanks in advance. Any pointers are appreciated.
