Joysticks

Joysticks are made for the purpose to make games like Mario cart play better and they give a better experience and they are more fun to use and look very cool on display. They move when the player grips them and moves his hands side to side or forward and back      

Keyboard and Mouse

The key board and mouse very good because allow functions that other HCIs do not allow. You can use it to type quick and the aim with the mouse is the most accurate. You can also do more with the keyboard and mouse as there are lots of different buttons which means you can bind keys very easily.

Wheel and pedals

These add a new way to play racing games  which are among the most popular genre of gaming and very fun to play with friends are alone. This takes away the risks of driving and makes it fun.

Controllers

Controllers are used for gaming and are often for more relaxed gaming as you can sit further away from your Tv. The controllers are set out differently on each one but they are all similar with analogue sticks and buttons on the back to aim and shoot and buttons on the side that are for other actions within the game.

Motion sensor

Motion senors are the latest type of gaming and detect movement, they are very new types of technology and they are still in development and will not replace controllers or keyboards because they are more of a different type of gaming.      

XBOX 360 VS Atari Jaguar Controllers

Xbox 360

The Xbox 360 is a newer controller and it is one of the controller that is made for comfortable feeling and it is for sitting back and chilling out, The controllers feel is the most important thing about the controller and it is comfortable and easy to use without having to reach your hands across the controller. The controller looks great and it looks better than the Atrai jaguar and feels better 

       

Atari jaguar

This is one of the most hideous controllers I have ever seen, it looks clunky and trash because the handles are not comfortable, it looks disgusting and the buttons at the bottom are very difficult to press which is a huge problem because the controller is meant to be comfortable and easy to use. Controllers looking nice but feel and how easy it is to use it the best thing for a controller which the most important thing for a controller.    

There is no contest and the xbox controller is far better than the atrai controller in almost every single way which shows us the the games company's learn from their mistakes
