A Joystick is a pointing device that typically has a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling. It is commonly used to provide input in computer games and simulations, but it can also be used to control industrial equipment and other devices. The primary function of a joystick is to control the movement of a character or object in a game or simulation. Analog joysticks are typically used in flight simulators and have two axes. Joysticks provide analog input and typically have two main types : Analog and digital. The hat switch is typically used to provide an additional input for navigation or menu selection. Joysticks are typically connected to a computer via USB and send analog signals to the computer. They can be used to control a cursor on a screen, a character or object in a game or simulation, or a robot or drone. The button on a joystick that is typically used to fire a weapon in a game is called the fire button.
