Title: Joystick/thumbstick with rotary option
Post by: Vitaly on Mon, 21 July 2014, 10:06:08

Hi,
i'm trying to find joystick with rotation support (rotation with return to zero, RZ axis on second image). Something like ps3 or xbox module but with rotary encoder. Is it possible to get such module and where?

You have my interest as to the intended use.  But sorry I don't know where you would be able to find one. 

Mouser.com or digikey.com might but I have no idea what the terms would be that you would want to be searching for.

One of possible solutions that I see is ps 3 stick + rotary encoder (center return encoder/potentiometer) but complete module is better.
