joysticking
Gaming input method
Joysticking is controlling something with a joystick—the lever-based input device used for video games, aircraft, and machinery.
The term often describes manual override of automated systems: The pilot was joysticking the drone rather than letting it fly autonomously.
In gaming contexts, it can mean skillful or aggressive manipulation of the controller.
