 Game controller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For games, the keyboard typically controls movement of the character while the mouse is used to control the game camera or used for aiming.
A controller is typically connected to a video game console or a personal computer.
The type of element controlled depends upon the game, but a typical element controlled would be the game hero.

 Paddle (game controller) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This controller was functionally identical to the spin-dial controller used in Atari's Tempest game.
The reason for the name paddles for this type of game controller is that the first game that used it, Pong, was a (somewhat crude, but pioneering) video game simulation of table tennis, whose racquets are commonly called paddles.
The first successful video game console, the Atari 2600, used paddles for several of its games, as did early home computers such as the Commodore VIC-20.

 Macworld: News: Nintendo rethinks the game controller
Simulations of the controller being used in a number of different games were shown during a video shown at the keynote.
It was simulated being used in a first-person shooter game, of the type that’s very popular in the U.S. The main controller was held in the hand and pointed while the secondary controller was held in the other hand and became the gun’s trigger.
The new style controller is part of Nintendo& drive to expand the gaming population and Iwata said he hopes it will be less intimidating for non-gamers to pick up.

Unless you just play a lot of games on your handheld it just isn't worth the hassle of having to reinstall your cradle drivers after you have used the controller.
It does drain slightly faster but only very slight and usually when it does drain quickly, it's because you're playing a game that uses a lot of power to begin with (games with lots of action) and because you're using a game controller, you're probably playing it longer too.
