## 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. Connect 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. Key Features Dual-Axis Analog Output – Resistive X and Y axis outputs for precise position sensing Compact Slide Design – Low-profile form factor with a smooth sliding action Removable Thumb Pad – Rubber pad can be removed if preferred Arduino Compatible – Connect to analog inputs for immediate use Pinout (Bottom View) Pin 1 – X-axis output Pin 2 – +5 V Pin 3 – Y-axis output Pin 4 – GND (closest to the two mounting tabs) Specifications Type – Resistive analog joystick Voltage – 5 V Analog Range – ~128 to 775 per axis (on Arduino ADC) Pad Spacing – 2 mm (compatible with 2.54 mm headers with slight bending) Ideal For Game controllers and handheld projects Robot and servo control interfaces Menu navigation on embedded displays
