An input device which works the same as a joystick but without the stick. Instead, there is a pad (sometimes called D-pad) which is cross shaped (Nintendo has the patent on the cross, so non-Nintendo joypads usually feature a cross in a circle) and is manipulated with the thumb instead of the hand. There are also usually two or more buttons on the joypad. Joypads are much more common on console systems than on the PC, where joysticks are more popular.
