The PS2 Joystick Module is a simple and reliable dual-axis analog input device, ideal for controlling robots, drones, gaming interfaces, and DIY electronics projects. Modeled after classic game controller joysticks, it provides smooth X and Y directional control along with a digital switch for pressing the stick vertically. Its straightforward 5-pin interface makes it easy to connect with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers for precise directional input.
