A device used to provide input to a computer or [[video game]]. Normally this refers to a controller that is separate from the main machine, connected by wire or wirelessly, as opposed to the controls built into a handheld portable game machine such as [[Game Boy]] or [[Nintendo DS]]. Examples of game controllers may include [[gamepad]], [[joystick]] (which should really not be confused with gamepad), arcade stick, flightstick, steering wheel, lightgun, the Microsoft Kinect for [[Xbox 360]], and many, many more.
