gamepad
Handheld button device
A gamepad is a handheld controller for video games, typically featuring buttons, triggers, and joysticks arranged for two-handed use.
Unlike joysticks or steering wheels, gamepads are general-purpose controllers suited to many game types: I prefer a gamepad over keyboard and mouse for platformers.
Also called a game controller or joypad.
