A compact analogue joystick with two 10kΩ potentiometers and a spring-return mechanism. Unlike arcade-style joysticks that use clicking switches, this joystick provides smooth, proportional analogue output across a full 50° range in both X and Y axes. Connect each potentiometer between ground and a reference voltage, then read the analogue output from the centre pin.

Key Features

  • Dual 10kΩ Potentiometers – Smooth analogue output for X and Y axes
  • Spring-Return Centre – Automatically returns to neutral position (springs are replaceable)
  • 50° Range – Full directional control in both axes
  • Compact Size – Suitable for handheld controllers and panel-mount projects

Ideal For

  • Robotics and remote control interfaces
  • Custom game controllers
  • Pan/tilt camera control
  • Analogue input for microcontroller projects

Package Contents

  • 1× Mini Analogue Joystick (10kΩ potentiometers)

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

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.
potentiometer
A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
