PS2 Joystick Module – Dual Axis XY Analog Joystick
The PS2 Joystick Module is a compact and versatile input device designed for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontroller-based projects. It provides precise two-axis analog control along with a built-in push-button switch, making it ideal for robotics, gaming controllers, RC vehicles, camera pan-tilt systems, and DIY electronics projects. The module uses two 10K potentiometers to detect movement along the X and Y axes, while pressing the joystick activates the integrated digital switch.
