What is a "joystick"?

A joystick is a handheld input device used to control video games or computer applications. It typically consists of a stick that can be moved in multiple directions to control movement or actions in a game. Joysticks are often used in arcade games, flight simulators, or other games that require precise control. The stick is usually accompanied by buttons that can be pressed to perform additional functions. By moving the joystick in different directions, players can control their character, vehicle, or other in-game elements with greater accuracy and responsiveness.
