Product Description:

The Joystick Module (KY-023) is an analog two-axis input device that can detect X and Y directional movement, along with a digital press button input. It works similarly to the analog joysticks found in game controllers. Built with two 10kΩ potentiometers positioned at 90°, it outputs variable voltage signals corresponding to movement along each axis, while a central pushbutton detects a click. When used with Arduino or similar microcontrollers, it outputs values between 0–1023 on both axes, with approximately 512 at rest.

Key Features:

• Analog joystick module with dual-axis control (X and Y)
• Built-in momentary pushbutton switch (Z-axis)
• Outputs variable voltage signals (0–5V)
• Resting output approximately 2.5V per axis
• Highly compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers
• Compact and easy to mount on breadboards or custom PCBs
• Ideal for robot direction, RC control, and gaming applications
