<hardware, games> 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 IBM PCs
have a joystick (game control) port.
