display screen. It is a major component of entertainment.

These range from educational games and mind twisters, to
building and construction games and to physical interaction
by the users (sports, fitness, dance). There are also popular
games of strategy, war, science fiction, and mythical words
that employ amazingly complex and realistic graphics,
motion, sound, and other special effects.
Joystick
 What is a Joystick?
The name "joystick" is
thought to originate with
early 20th century French
pilot Robert Esnault-Pelterie.
He is alleged to have
invented the “George Stick”
which became more
popularly known as the
joystick.
 What is a Joystick?
A joystick is an input device
consisting of a stick that pivots on a
base and reports its angle or
direction to the device it is
controlling. Joysticks are often used
to control video games, and usually
have one or more push-buttons
whose state can also be read by the
computer. The joystick is probably
the most essential devices that
gamers encounter in the video game
parlor.
Parts of
the
Joystick
1. Pivot – the area in which
the shaft swivels. A part
surrounding the shaft is
usually placed her to assist
in this; it comes in shapes
like cylinders and half-
spheres set in a plate that is
contoured for smooth
movement.
2. Spring – the mechanism
most joysticks use for
automatically resetting the
shaft to neutral. Some joysticks
use magnets for this. Thicker
and/or larger springs make the
reset stronger and movements
more affected. A part is often
added to secure the spring
below the pivot.
3. Actuator – gives the bottom
of the shaft more area and
precision in pressing the
switches. It refer to a shaped
enhancement surrounding the
bottom of the shaft or the
levers on levered micro
switches.
4. E-ring (also called E-clip) –
is a small, flat, curved plate of
metal shaped like the letter
“E”, it is a type of retaining
ring(also called a circlip or
snap ring) which is a type of
fastener. It attaches to the
bottom of the shaft, aligning
and securing the parts along it.
5. Mounting Plate – the plate
of the joystick attached directly
and securely to the control
panel. This and dust washer
are the only two parts of the
joystick that need to touch the
control panel.
6.Guide/Dustwasher/Disk/
Cover– specifically shaped
hole, like a square or circle,
that determines physically
where the joystick can be
moved. It is generally attached
on the bottom of the joystick,
restricting the bottom of the
shaft.
7. Wire Harness/Microswitch
– some joysticks have the
microswitches attached to the
PCB into which a wire harness
(wires aligned along a plug) is
inserted instead of having to
wire each of the microswitches
around the bottom of the
joystick.
8. Handle/Top – the held part
at the top of the stick which
usually comes in 2 shapes: a
ball top or tear drop/bat top
9. Shaft/Stick – give users
more control over their mobility
with a joystick handle designed
to meet their needs.
10. Restrictor Gate – is a
plate with a specifically shaped
hole, like a square or circle,
that determines physically
where the joystick can be
moved. It is generally attached
on the bottom of the joystick.
Nintendo Switch
 Nintendo Switch
It is a hybrid console that can be used as a home console and
portable device. Its wireless Joy-Con controllers, with standard
buttons and directional analogue sticks for user input, motion
sensing, and tactile feedback, can attach to both sides of the console
to support handheld-style play. They can also connect to a grip
accessory to provide a traditional home console gamepad form, or be
used individually in the hand supporting local multiplayer modes.
The Nintendo Switch's software supports online gaming through
Internet connectivity, as well as local wireless ad hoc connectivity
with other consoles. Nintendo Switch games and software are
available on both physical flash-based ROM cartridges and
digital distribution via Nintendo eShop; the system has no
region lockout.

 A battery-powered tablet-like monitor
consisting of an LCD screen. The unit
measures 173 by 102 by 13.9 mm. and
weighs 297 grams. The LCD screen
supports resolutions up to
720p(1280x720px).The console includes
audio jack, stereo speakers, USB-C port
for charging and a kickstand on the
backside. The unit includes slots for a
game card and a micro SD card located
under the kickstand.
Console
 A docking station with
electrical connectors to connect
the console to a power supply
to charge its battery and to a
television via an HDMI
connection for video/audio
output. It includes two USB
2.0 ports and one USB 3.0
Dock port.

controllers. The inside rails slot onto the side emulates a gamepad form factor, or used as
of the main Switch console or grip controller.
Red and blue Joy-Con slotted onto the
charging grip, giving the general portions
of a standard controller.
The controllers attach to the Switch
console via side rails using a locking
mechanism, with a small release button on
their rear face to allow them to be detached.
When detached, they can be used as a pair
by a single player, attached to a grip that
separate controllers by two individual
players. A single Switch console can
support up to eight Joy-Con connections.
Straps can be attached to the sides of Joy-
Con when they are detached. A charging
grip is available for the Joy-Con, which
provides a means to attach a USB-C cable
for power.
