You need to configure the joystick in game. That is if you can actually use the joystick in game. Not all DOS games had joystick compatibility...
I remember using a joypad back in the days of X-Wing... That old pad was however plugged in a port behind the computer.
Beside, the mouse always been more precise and faster. It was only because my arm was getting very tired after a month of playing that I switched to it... It was a ball mouse too, which was way heavier and more cumbersome than today numeric mouses.
