it is an input device
a joystick is named a joystick because it gives you joy when you use it.
A joystick is an input device. The movement of the stick is translated into signals that are sent to the receiving computer. To identify if the device is input or output, simply think of this: Do you need to send a command to the computer (inputting), or is the computer displaying (outputting) information to you?
Yes it is.

An input device is anything which you plug into your computer that sends information to it such as: Keyboard, Mouse, joystick.
A joystick is probably the most common input device you'd think of when it comes to games. However, you could also use a flight controller, a trackball, or a mouse. But generally, you'd use a joystick unless you are playing a flight simulation game that requires a flight controller.
A joystick is an input device. It receives input from the user in the form of it's operation which it then passes on to the computer. Speakers are an example of an output device. They receive no input from the user, and only output (sound in this case). You can think of an input device as something that gives the computer information. And an output device as something that receives information from the computer.
No, it's not. Input daveices are a mouse, keyboard, joystick, touchscreen and so on.

Yes you can use a joystick on the PC. When you start Fallout New Vegas with a joystick connected (or connect when game running) it will recognize the joystick and use it as the only input device (yeah, the game designers made it so the keyboard/ mouse is disabled, which sucks).
