Joystick

A peripheral input device that looks similar to a control device you would find on an arcade game at your local arcades. A computer joystick allows an individual to easily navigate an object in a game such as navigating a plane in a flight simulator. The image to the right of this text is an image of the Logitech Freedom 2.4 joystick and is an example of what you would expect most computer joysticks to look like. Additional information and help with computer joysticks can be found on our joystick help page.
