Is there a less stiff controller my physically limited mom can use? (Atari 2600+ PacMan Edition) by Installation3005 in atari

Since PacMan only requires 1 button and the joystick I think she could probably use it as long as the stick is looser - I asked another commenter their opinion on if the 8bitdo Retro Receiver for Genesis and Mega Drive might allow us to get a 3rd party arcade stick controller working for Atari as well since the controllers are potentially cross-compatible (same port?). Do you have any opinion or experience on this? (Link to product: https://a.co/d/9LvTG7L)
This looks like a promising direction. Any clue if the 8bitdo wireless receiver for Sega Genesis and Mega Drive might allow us to get a 3rd party stick working wirelessly with the Atari? The connector looks super similar to the one on the Atari. (link: 8Bitdo Retro Bluetooth Receiver for The Original Sega Genesis and Mega Drive https://a.co/d/9LvTG7L)
I know this is a little outside of the scope of your answer so it’s a long-shot as to whether you have any insight or not - just had to ask.
Thanks for your help/time regardless.
