## Description

## Description 

This **SMT 5-Directional Joystick** is an intuitive way to add 5 buttons worth of interfacing with a single component. Inside are 5 switches: left, right, up, down, and 'select' (pressing down), all with a common ground pin.

It's sturdy metal with 6 SMT mounting tabs that provide both electrical and mechanical stability. With enough good solder, it's *really* hard to rip these off a PCB. There's two positioning nubs on the bottom, as well, that will help with shear-force resistance and orientation/location during assembly.

If you're bread-boarding, this [Thru-hole 5-way Navigation Switch](https://core-electronics.com.au/thru-hole-5-way-navigation-switch.html) may be more suited to your needs. Unlike that joystick, this one has a thinner stem that's a little easier for a finger to navigate. And, of course, its surface-mount.

[Please note that this rubber cap *will not* fit on this joystick!](https://core-electronics.com.au/black-rubber-joystick-nubbin-cap-for-navigation-joystick.html)
