A game pad of the present invention is electrically connected to a mainframe through an interface for controlling a game software executed in the mainframe. The game pad includes a scanning circuit electrically which is electrically connected to a central controller, a push-button type direction control circuit, an induction type direction control circuit, a programmable push pad circuit and a gad control circuit. The scanning circuit is controlled by the central controller to scan the above-stated circuits, thereby selecting one of them. The induction type direction control circuit includes a sense device which consists of sensors. According to a relative position with a reference direction, each sensor generates and transmits a direction control signal to the sense device to thereby make the central controller read and scan the moving direction of the sense device. The selecting device is electrically coupled to the central controller for selecting a mode of direction control.
