A thumb stick is a small joystick on a video game controller, operated by the thumb.
Most modern controllers have two thumb sticks—one for movement, one for camera control.
Also called an analog stick.
Separately, a thumb stick is a walking stick with a forked top that fits between thumb and forefinger.
