Ideal joystick for Arduino.

Not so long ago I bought an Arduino Uno and I was looking for parts to expand it to continue my self-education. This joystick was handy and very easy to learn, as was adding to some simple circuitry.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • There are nuances

Goods correspond to the description. Appears to be normal quality.

Product as described. Appears to be normal quality. However, something is wrong. I can keep crashing my code using only the x-axis on one device or only the y-axis on another. Same code. Same Arduino, same pins. A little more testing needs to be done, but they can come back.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • boring packaging

2nd purchase! good for computer components

Bought this twice - could have bought a few more to keep on hand. They work great and are perfect for the RC controller I'm building.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Style 90

One Star Electronics

Terrible range Big dead zone in the middle. The mean is shifted by about 15%. This further limits the usable area as a page comes out too quickly. .

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Fade out

Arduino variable control!

SainSmart quality was really good and this component is as expected. Smooth range and what you were hoping for when you ordered this. I wouldn't say it's on par with the Xbox 360 joystick, but it's very close.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • May I add
