HiLetgo Game Joystick Sensor Game Controller Sensor JoyStick Breakout Module for Arduino PS2 Raspberry Pi

Not much to say. It is well made, easy to work with. Smooth operation, and does exactly what was stated. I also like the fact that I did not have to solder anything to test it out. Just plugged it into a breadboard, connected with wired, and it worked.

My grandson loved it, worked perfect for his project and would definitely buy it again

Used on a Pico project, had little difficulty getting data from it even though I have just started working with hardware inputs and with Micropython.

The product came in a bag and one of the pins was bent but not bad enough to break it but not the best shipping. The Joystick is smooth could use a bit more tension or resistance on the stick but other than that works as advertised.

This is a good product except for one thing. The plastic knob is very sensitive to heat. The heat from a heat shrink blower caused the thin edges of the knob to melt even though it was several inches away. So I learned a lesson there. I had to cut off the thin mishapened edge of the knob to get it to work, but eventually I replaced the entire switch.

Like others have noted, the range is very poor, topping out mid stroke for both axes. Also you MUST use a pull up resistor on the switch or NOTHING will work.

I am making a small Raspberry Pi arcade controller. I was looking for a joystick and found this one on Amazon. It was delivered the next day and fits nicely into my project. The joystick seems well made and should hold up to heavy usage.

Ok, had to change my review after extensive testing. The thumbstick I received (which looks just like the picture) does not work reliably at 5V. The Y axis down jumps to 1011 then back to middle position around 526 being read on an arduino. At 3.3V the Y axis down reads properly to 1023. Probably going to return it and hope the next one works at 5V (making an analog Atari 2600 controller). :(
