What is a "paddle"?

A paddle is a tool used for moving a boat or raft through water. It has a long handle with a flat or slightly curved blade at one end. The blade is used to push against the water to propel the boat forward or steer it. Paddles are often made of lightweight materials like wood or plastic, making them easy to maneuver. They are commonly used in activities like canoeing, kayaking, and rafting, where the person in the boat holds the handle and dips the blade into the water to control the movement.

What is a "paddle"?

A paddle is a type of controller used in some video games, typically with a rotating or tilting motion to control an in-game element. It consists of a flat surface or wheel that the player turns to influence the gameplay. Paddles were most commonly used in early arcade games, like Pong, where players would rotate the paddle to move a bouncing ball up and down the screen. In modern gaming, paddles can sometimes refer to additional buttons or attachments on controllers that allow players to perform actions without using their thumbs, often in competitive or sports games.
