Self-centering analog thumb joystick acting as two 10 kΩ potentiometers (X and Y axes). Connect VCC (3–5 V), GND, and read the two analog output pads; solder wires to the four bottom pads and glue down for mounting.
Product page says to connect the VCC pin to the power supply for the sold 2-axis analogue thumb joystick.
Product page says to connect the ground pin to ground.
One of the two remaining pads is read by an analogue input and varies with joystick movement on one axis.
The other remaining pad is read by an analogue input and varies with joystick movement on the second axis.

Verify supply voltage and logic levels before powering up.
Module pins: VCC, GND, X axis, Y axis. Schematik maps them to your board in the app.
Matrix keypads, analog ADKey boards, I2C keypad controllers, joysticks, and finished USB-HID keyboards are all here. Pin budget and simultaneous-press requirements are the splits that matter.
