For the Hilitchi Arduino compatible Biaxial Button Joystick Sensor Module.

The axis inputs on this joysticks are pretty noisy and not very linear.

There is a number of these analog joysticks on the market. I have tested a few and found the pot on many is very poor. Some are ok in 1 direction poor in other directions and many the nutural position isn't in the middle of the pot range. I hooked then to my scope so that I can see the voltage change for the amount of joystick movement and found some joystick needed to move only about 10% travel and the reached full voltage then for the other 90% travel just stayed at full voltage. Some brands were better and was more like 60% travel to reach full voltage.
