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
PCs have a joystick (game control) port.
