joystick and microphone
Speakers and Headphones are output devices. A microphone, sometimes integrated with speakers, is an input device.
That's called 'speech recognition software' - Windows has the ability to both type up what's spoken into a microphone - read back text from the computer.
That depends on what you're going to use the microphone for, if it's talking to people at TeamSpeak, Ventrilo or Skype then you should buy a headset with a microphone made for it. (USB headsets are lovely) If it's for singing and making music then you should buy some real stuff.
No gaming system has a joystick as their main controller, but every system has a joystick sold by third party companies. If you want a joystick for your preffered system, just take a look at amazon, they will have them.

No - an input device is a device that provides data input to a computer. A keyboard, mouse, microphone, and Web cam are examples of input devices. A monitor and speakers are examples of output devices. A set of detailed instructions given to a computer is called a program.
There are huge differences between different types of input devices. An input device is anything that can be plugged into the computer, and is used to manipulate or interact with the data in some way. One major difference is the type of connection used to connect the input device with the computer. The most common type of connection is the USB (Universal Serial Bus) connection. There is the PS-2 connector (purple circle) that is used to connect a mouse to the computer. There difference between these two is the shape, and the speed and bandwidth of the data that goes through these inputs. Input devices have obvious differences, for example a keyboard and a mouse. A keyboard is used to type letters, while a mouse is used to click and select on things on the screen. There is the microphone, used to record sound on the computer, or a joystick, used to control aircraft in a flight simulator.
Any microphone that works with your computer will work with skype. Logitech makes a lot of great microphones. You can find them at Best Buy or Walmart.
