Answer:

joystick

Step-by-step explanation:

The joystick is a device used as a controller that helps you control the actions you take in the game.

Joystick consists of the stick that pivots on the foundation base and looks a lot like a stick shift. On the base are few more push buttons that give additional controls.

It has been used in video gaming since the 60s and 70s, although today gamepads are much more popular and common in video gaming. On gamepads, analog sticks have the purpose of control that joystick has.
