KY-023 Dual Axis Joystick Module

Overview 

The KY-023 Joystick Module is a high-quality input device modeled after the famous PlayStation 2 controller thumb-stick. It provides two-dimensional control (horizontal and vertical) through two 10k potentiometers, which output varying analog voltages. Additionally, it features a built-in tactile switch that is activated when you press the stick down (the “Select” or “Z” button). This module is essential for any project requiring fluid movement or menu navigation.

Key Features ✨

• 3-Axis Input: Precise X and Y analog movement plus a digital Z-axis (push button).

• Spring-to-Center: The stick automatically returns to the center position when released, making it ideal for steering and throttle control.

• Plug-and-Play: Compatible with all microcontrollers that have analog inputs (ADC), including Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (via ADC).

• Durable Design: Built on a robust PCB with a comfortable, removable plastic thumb cap.
