How To Classify A Joystick
  • Gamers continuously strive to find the best
    gadget to enhance their gaming experience. Well,
    no one can deny this fact that best joysticks are
    ideal to improve your game play. There are many
    different types of joysticks that are available
    in the market. Before purchasing, it helps to
    have at least basic knowledge about how they are
    classified into different types.
  • When users hear the word joystick, they often
    think of PC gaming. The two-handed controller
    that is included with a video game system can
    also be correctly identified as a joystick
    controller. Industrial ones are another category
    that many users are not familiar with. They are
    used for a number of applications which include
    flight control and manufacturing. It is helpful
    for the users to understand the differences
    between different controllers to decide which
    model fits their needs well.
  • Joysticks For Gaming
  • There are many different types of best joysticks
    that are used for video games. Their unique
    physical characteristics allow them to differ
    greatly from one another. Some of them are very
    simple design, especially those which are used to
    operate consoles and vintage arcade games.
    Gamepad controllers are a mixture of joystick
    that can look simply different from the standard
    arcade controller design and PC controllers.
    Even so, they are important to mention because
    they also operate in the same way.

  • Standard Joysticks
  • They are often used for PC gaming, they can be
    very simple or quite complicated. Vintage arcade
    games like Pac-Man, also with video games
    consoles like Atari, use very basic joystick
    controls. A standard one is usually operated with
    single hand. The other hand is used sometimes to
    control different buttons. The size and weight
    may differ between different models, most of the
    designs still include some form of base and
    handle. One that is designed for computer may
    include suction cups on the base to hold the
    joystick in place. This added stability helps the
    user to control the stick without jostling the
    whole unit. Frequently, system requirements and
    planned usage will dictate that which type of
    standard ones is most suitable. The number of
    features and buttons that are found on a standard
    one will differ between different models. You can
    have different options that are available like
    Autofire switch, Trigger button, Point-of-view,
    and throttle controls.
  • Flight simulator ones offer the most advanced
    features. Some of them also offer a technology
    that is known as force feedback. It will react to
    on-screen action by means of vibrations and other
    physical movement. Their connection types will
    vary, depending upon the device that they are
    going to be connected with. There are USB and
    Wireless models that are available in the market.
  • Two-Handed
  • Their physical design is different from a
    standard one, two-handed controllers work in the
    same fashion. This type of controller is usually
    seen with the video game consoles, but you can
    also find the PC compatible models. They are
    sometimes known as gamepads, control pads and
    joypads, the main difference between them is that
    two hands are used to hold the controller. With
    this type of controller, you will make use of
    your thumbs for most of the work.
