Joystick is an input device that is commonly used to control video games. Joysticks have a base and a stick that can be rotated in any direction.
Here the stick can be moved slowly and quickly and that too to different extents in all directions. Some joysticks have sticks that can be rotated left and right. Because a joystick provides flexible movements, it provides more control than the keys on a keyboard .
Joysticks contain many buttons. Most joysticks have at least one button on the top of the stick and another button on the front of the stick for the trigger.
Many joysticks also include other buttons at their base that the user can press with the hands that do not guide the stick.
Joysticks typically connect to the computer via a basic USB or serial port connection and often come with software that allows you to assign the function of each button.
Since joysticks closely emulate the controls of planes and other aircraft, they are best suited for flight simulators and flying action games.
Whereas some gamers use these joysticks for video games, such as first-person shooters and fighting games.
