controls

The overall system of input that allows players to manipulate a videogame world, including any physical input devices.

Some games allow a player to edit commands with customizable controls. In these games, the default controls are the ones set for initial use by the developer.

Used interchangeably with control scheme.

Example: The default controls for Metal Slug Anthology for the Wii are adequate, but none of the game’s multitude of control schemes ever feels quite right.
