joystick
<hardware, games> A device consisting of a hand held stick that pivots
about one end and transmits its angle in two dimensions to a computer. Joysticks
are often used to control games, and usually have one or more push-buttons whose
state can also be read by the computer. Most I/O interface cards for IBM PCs
have a joystick (game control) port.
