Since the humble beginnings of video gaming, input devices have been many and varied. "Pong" used joysticks. "Duck Hunt" used a gun. Gaming inputs have evolved over the years, but the concept remains the same. In today's multi-billion dollar computer gaming industry, what device will perform the best for your gaming needs? For most general applications, there are arguably two choices: Joystick or Gamepad.

Generally speaking, a consumer's choice in this split decision should be based primarily on the applications for which it is involved. For example, a gamepad might not be too shabby for a flight simulator, but if you really want to experience an in-depth simulation, such that you would find in a Jane's game for example, a joystick is the tool for you. Let's look now, comparatively, at the strengths and weaknesses of each device.

The Joystick

In the early days of gaming, joysticks were little more than their name; a platform, a stick on an x-y axis, and (if you were lucky) a button or two. Today's joysticks are, of course, varied in their complexity, but mostly include at least four buttons (minimally!), a "Point-of-View Hat" atop the stick - allowing for more customized input, and possibly a throttle. Many of today's joysticks are complex enough to be able to control a game on their own, but others rely on the nature of the joystick itself allowing the gamer to use another hand on the keyboard. Applications generally recommended for joystick use: Flight Simulators, Vehicular Combat Games

The Gamepad

More of a jack-of-all-trades than the joystick, the gamepad is very versatile in the applications in which it excels. Most gamepads today resemble console video game system controllers, specifically Sony Playstation or Microsoft Xbox controllers. In fact, a number of PC gamepads can be connected and used with console systems! Gamepads are meant to be used with two hands and generally include eight to twelve buttons, a few small thumb-sized joysticks, and a directional-pad not much different from those seen on the NES. Specifically, gamepads are good for: Sports Games (especially Electronic Arts brand), Top-down Action Games, and some Third-person Role-playing Games.

The Rundown

In summary, you should select your input device based on your gaming needs. For the most part, those interested in flying should choose a joystick, and all others should choose a gamepad. As an added incentive for gamepad users, many PC games which begin on game consoles and get "ported" to the computer integrate seamlessly with a gamepad. A great example of this is EA Sports games, which holds a near monopoly on sports games as of 2008, which are almost always released on console before they come to the PC. In a pinch, gamepads aren't really that bad at flight sims either, to tell the truth. Joysticks are just better.

In the end, it comes down to what you enjoy the most. After all, we're playing video games, not video work.
