The 2-Axis Joystick provides analogue input for your projects using two independent 10K potentiometers — one per axis. It reports position as either voltage or resistance, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers including Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
The modular form factor plugs directly into a breadboard for quick prototyping. A spring mechanism auto-returns the joystick to centre, and the comfortable cup-type knob provides a natural grip.

- Voltage or Resistance Output – Flexible wiring options for analogue input
- Spring Auto-Return – Returns to centre position when released
- Breadboard Compatible – Modular form factor for direct plug-in prototyping
- Cup-Type Knob – Comfortable and easy to grip
Ideal For
- Robot and motor control
- Game controllers and input devices
- Pan/tilt servo control
- Analogue input prototyping
Package Contents
- 1× 2-Axis Joystick with cup-type knob

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
