Handheld input device
A game pad is a handheld controller used to play video games, typically featuring directional buttons or joysticks and various action buttons.
It connects to a gaming console, computer, or other device and allows players to control on-screen characters and navigate menus.
Game pads have largely replaced joysticks as the standard input device for home gaming.
