Key Features

  • PRECISE DUAL-AXIS ANALOG CONTROL: Features two independent 10K potentiometers for X and Y axis control, providing smooth and accurate analog output. Operating on a 5V supply, the module outputs approximately 2.5V at the center position, with a full range from 0V to 5V, allowing for proportional control ideal for robotics, RC vehicles, and camera gimbals.
  • BROAD MICROCONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY: Designed with a standard 2.54mm 5-pin interface for seamless integration with a wide range of development boards. It is fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers, making it a versatile choice for students, hobbyists, and professional electronics projects.
  • INTEGRATED PUSH-BUTTON FUNCTION: Includes a built-in momentary push-button that activates when the joystick is pressed down. This third dimension of control (Z-axis) is accessible via the SW pin and is perfect for select, fire, or mode-switching functions in your custom game controllers and user interfaces.
  • VERSATILE FOR DIY PROJECTS AND REPAIRS: The perfect input device for a variety of applications, from building custom gamepads and remote transmitters to controlling robot arms. It also serves as a high-quality replacement part for repairing worn-out or broken analog thumbsticks in existing game controllers and other electronic devices.
  • DURABLE CONSTRUCTION FOR RELIABLE USE: Built with a robust metal joystick mechanism for long-lasting performance and a reliable tactile feel. We provide comprehensive after-sales support: complete digital documentation including user guides and technical references is available through our store customer service, and our support team is ready to assist with installation, programming, and troubleshooting to help you get started quickly.
