A small yet powerful Mini Analog Thumbstick provides an intuitive tactile solution for directional analog input needs. Designed akin to those found in Nintendo joycons, this joystick offers similar feel and sizing, though it is not a replacement for Switch Joycons.
The unit features self-centering analog control, with two 10KΩ potentiometers for precise up/down and left/right movements. Additionally, it includes a center 'press' tactile button, ideal for selection tasks in your projects.
Specifications include solderable potentiometer pins onto a custom breakout board at a 2mm pitch, though it is not breadboard-friendly. When integrated and operational, the voltage simply mirrors the thumbstick's directional movement, auto-centering upon release.
A robust choice for robotics and control interfaces, this thumbstick offers a reliable, hands-on input method to enhance technological engagements.
