PS2 Joystick Module 5V Dual Axis KY-023

Description

PS2 Joystick Module 5V Dual Axis with Push Button

The PS2 Joystick Module provides simple X/Y axis control with an additional push-button input, making it a practical choice for Arduino, robotics and DIY electronics projects.

It uses two 10KΩ potentiometers to detect joystick movement on the X and Y axes. Pressing the joystick activates the built-in push button, providing a third input for functions such as selection, mode switching or control commands.

With a compact PCB and 5-pin interface, the module is easy to connect to compatible microcontrollers and development boards.

Key Features

• Dual-axis X/Y analog control
• Built-in push button
• 10KΩ potentiometer for each axis
• 5-pin interface
• Compact PCB design
• Suitable for Arduino, robotics and DIY projects

How It Works

The joystick uses two potentiometers to detect movement along the X and Y axes. At the center position, the analog output is typically around half of the supply voltage. Moving the joystick changes the corresponding output voltage.

Pressing the joystick downward activates the SW push-button output.

Applications

The PS2 Joystick Module can be used for:

• Arduino projects
• Robot and RC control
• DIY game controllers
• Pan/tilt control
• Interactive electronics projects

Before You Buy

Please check your controller’s operating voltage, analog inputs and digital inputs before connection. The module provides two analog outputs and one push-button signal.
