wieldiness
Convenient to control
Wieldiness is the quality of being easy to handle, control, or manipulate.
A tool with good wieldiness fits comfortably in the hand and moves where you direct it.
The term applies beyond physical objects: The wieldiness of the new software made training unnecessary.
The opposite is unwieldiness—awkward, cumbersome, hard to manage.
