2-Axis Joystick Sensor Module with Button — Arduino Compatible

Bring intuitive, hands-on control to your Arduino projects with this dual-axis joystick sensor module. Built around a PS2-style rocker potentiometer, it delivers smooth analog control across two axes — X and Y — plus a clickable Z-axis button, giving you the same feel as a gaming controller in a compact, breadboard-friendly module.

Ideal for remote control cars, robotic arms, pan-tilt camera mounts, games, and any project that needs precise directional input. Each axis outputs a clean analog voltage that scales with movement, while the push-button outputs a simple digital signal — making it easy to read and program with just a few lines of Arduino code.

Designed with standard 3-pin Arduino-compatible headers, it plugs directly into most sensor expansion boards with no soldering or adapters required — just wire it up and start coding.

How It Works


At rest, X and Y axes output approximately 2.5V
Pushing the joystick forward increases voltage up to 5V
Pushing in the opposite direction decreases voltage down to 0V
Pressing the joystick down triggers a digital LOW signal on the Z pin


Key Features


Smooth dual-axis analog control using 10K bi-directional resistors
Clickable Z-axis push button for additional input
Standard 3-pin headers for direct expansion board compatibility
Wide operating voltage — works with both 3.3V and 5V systems
Fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and similar platforms
