5-way Tactile Switch

This 5-way tactile switch provides joystick-like directional input in a tiny surface-mount package. It supports four directional movements (up, down, left, right) plus a centre press, making it ideal for menu navigation, cursor control, and compact user interfaces where a full-size joystick won't fit.

The switch is surface-mount but has large enough pads for hand soldering. Its low profile and small footprint make it well-suited for handheld devices, wearables, and space-constrained PCB designs.
