These 10k potentiometers will read the position changes for the joystick's full range of physical motion. This joystick also has a select button that is actuated when the joystick is pressed down.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe mechanical parts found in this joystick are mostly metal and are considered far sturdier (rugged, if you will) than other, plastic joystick options.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This thumb joystick does not include a top cap and it will need to be purchased separately. Additionally, the leads on the housing of this joystick are much thicker than the leads on the trimpots \u0026amp; push button components. When soldering to BOB-9110, you may use a pair of fine-tip tweezers to guide each pin into the correct hole before pushing down.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n","brand":"Sparkfun Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39556666458264,"sku":"RB-Spa-1876","price":5.06,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0487\/4158\/0952\/products\/sparkfun-deluxe-thumb-joystick-2_0b6ed98b-b258-42c4-9c0b-299ce685d924.jpg?v=1652736106","url":"https:\/\/robotshopshop-dev.myshopify.com\/products\/sparkfun-deluxe-thumb-joystick-1","provider":"RobotShop Dev","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
