game controllers
Console button peripherals
Game controllers are handheld devices for interacting with video games—joysticks, gamepads, steering wheels, and similar input hardware.
The standard gamepad has buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks arranged for two-handed use.
Controllers may include features like vibration feedback or motion sensing.
The game controller was unresponsive until I changed the batteries.
