Grayhill 5V dc Optical Encoder with a 6.35 mm Flat Shaft, Panel Mount, Connector

The 60A series is a multi function joystick but has the added functionality of a built-in optical encoder and push button. As a cursor control device this unit can eliminate the need for a stationary mouse or trackball providing all the same functions in a single, more compact design. They are ideally suited for automotive and aviation dashboards where having separate joystick, encoder and push button proves to be impractical due to space constraints. The joystick manipulates a cursor left, right, up and down
