Add tactile, gaming-style control to your electronics projects with the KY-023 Dual-Axis Joystick Module. This handy breakout board functions just like a classic PlayStation controller thumbstick, providing smooth, high-precision directional input along the X and Y axes, along with an integrated push-button switch when pressed downward.
Perfect for STEM students, makers, and robotics developers, this module is the go-to component for controlling robotic arms, pan-and-tilt camera mounts, RC cars, and custom DIY gaming consoles.
Key Features:
Full 3-Axis Control: Measures movement across two independent analog directions (X-axis and Y-axis) and features a digital push-button (Z-axis/SW) for menu selections or secondary actions.
Smooth Analog Output: Uses two internal 10kΩ potentiometers to read fluid directional movements, outputting varying analog voltages based on the stick's position.
Auto-Centering Spring: Features a robust spring-loaded mechanism that automatically snaps the thumbstick back to its exact center position when released.
Simple 5-Pin Interface: Easily connects to your prototype using clear breakout pins: GND, +5V, VRx (X-axis analog), VRy (Y-axis analog), and SW (digital switch).
