A PSP/Xbox-style analog thumb joystick with a built-in press-to-select button, mounted on a breakout board designed for easy panel mounting. Unlike simple directional joysticks, this analog stick provides precise, proportional X and Y readings for accurate positional control.
The breakout board features mounting holes positioned clear of the joystick's movement range, so you can securely attach it to a panel or enclosure without interference. A 5-pin 0.1" header makes it easy to connect via breadboard, perfboard, or free wiring. Just solder the joystick to the PCB — it takes about a minute.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout board carries a small or fine-pitched component and brings its connections out to standard, breadboard- and header-friendly pins. Describing a part as a breakout means it can be wired into a project without soldering directly to the component's tiny contacts.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board (PCB) is a board, usually rigid, with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components together without loose wiring. Components are mounted on the board and signals route between them through the copper layout.
