Description
Ultibo Joystick and Gamepad Interface unit
Gamepads are almost universally used to control game consoles and other gaming platforms as they provide an easy way to interact with many different types of movement in gaming scenarios.
They range from simple devices with a 4 way rocker switch (often known as the D-pad) and a small number of push buttons to elaborate units with multi-axis controls and buttons that cover a whole range of uses.
Joysticks are used for more than just gaming, many modern industrial machines use a joystick as the primary control interface. Even common machines like ride on lawn mowers and earth moving equipment often feature a joystick type of control mechanism.
Devices such as flight simulator yokes will often also appear as a joystick to the system as the available ranges of movement and the reported axes are the same.
