A '''joystick''' is an [[input device]] consisting of a stick that pivots on a base and reports its angle or direction to the device it is controlling. Joysticks are often used to control video games, and usually have one or more push-buttons whose state can also be read by the computer. A popular variation of the joystick used on modern [[video game consoles]] is the analog stick.
 
The joystick has been the principal flight control in the [[cockpit]] of many aircraft, particularly military fast jets, where centre stick or side-stick location may be employed.
 
Joysticks are also used for controlling machines such as cranes, trucks, underwater unmanned vehicles and zero turning radius lawn mowers. Miniature finger-operated joysticks have been adopted as input devices for smaller electronic equipment such as [[mobile phone]]s.
