Joypad
A gamepad, also called joypad, is a type of game controller held with both hands and used to provide input for video games. Gamepads generally feature a set of action buttons handled with the right thumb and a direction controller handled with the left.
The direction controller has traditionally been a four-way digital cross (D-pad), but most modern controllers additionally (or as a substitute) feature a small analog joystick. The mini-joystick was introduced with the Nintendo 64 controller.
Most modern video game consoles use a variation of a standard gamepad. Some common additions to the standard pad include shoulder buttons placed along the edges of the pad, centrally placed start, select, and mode buttons, and an internal motor to provide force feedback. Gamepads are also available for the PC, but are far less popular than the keyboard and mouse for the system except for a small segment of games.
