{"title":"Thumb Slide Joystick","handle":"thumb-slide-joystick","url":"/products/thumb-slide-joystick","description":"A compact resistive analog joystick similar to those found on the PSP1000. Unlike traditional thumbstick joysticks, this one has a distinctive flat \"slide\" feel with a removable rubber thumb pad.\n\nConnect to an Arduino's analog inputs to read X and Y axis positions, with an expected range of approximately 128 to 775 on each axis. The pads are spaced at 2 mm, but 2.54 mm headers can be fitted with a bit of bending.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nDual-Axis Analog Output – Resistive X and Y axis outputs for precise position sensing\n\nCompact Slide Design – Low-profile form factor with a smooth sliding action\n\nRemovable Thumb Pad – Rubber pad can be removed if preferred\n\nArduino Compatible – Connect to analog inputs for immediate use\n\n\nPinout (Bottom View)\n\n\nPin 1 – X-axis output\n\nPin 2 – +5 V\n\nPin 3 – Y-axis output\n\nPin 4 – GND (closest to the two mounting tabs)\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nType – Resistive analog joystick\n\nVoltage – 5 V\n\nAnalog Range – ~128 to 775 per axis (on Arduino ADC)\n\nPad Spacing – 2 mm (compatible with 2.54 mm headers with slight bending)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nGame controllers and handheld projects\nRobot and servo control interfaces\nMenu navigation on embedded displays\n","vendor":"SparkFun","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":14201,"title":"Default Title","sku":"SF-COM-09426","price":11.68,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":25,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
