Thumb Joystick - Deluxe

The Deluxe Thumb Joystick is a robust 16mm joystick, similar to those seen in PlayStation controllers. It uses two 10k potentiometers, one for each axis, to provide directional movements. The joystick can register the full range of physical motion, offering an accurate and responsive gaming experience. It also features a select button that is activated when the joystick is pressed down.

The Deluxe Thumb Joystick stands out for its sturdiness. Unlike other joysticks that use plastic components, this joystick is made mostly of metal, making it more rugged and durable. It's a perfect choice for gamers who want a joystick that can withstand intense gaming sessions.

It's important to note that the Deluxe Thumb Joystick does not come with a top cap, which needs to be purchased separately. The joystick's housing leads are much thicker than the leads on the trimpots and push button components. When soldering to BOB-9110, it's recommended to use fine tip tweezers to guide each pin into the correct hole before pushing down.
