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 chip that runs your program and controls connected inputs and outputs. For this product, it is the part that reads buttons and sensors, drives the display and speaker, and communicates over Bluetooth.
- 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.
