This rotary encoder is the best of the best, its a high quality 24-pulse encoder, with detents and a nice feel. It is panel mountable for placement in a box, or you can plug it into a breadboard (just cut/bend the two mechanical side tabs.) We also...

This thumbstick is an analog joystick - more accurate and sensitive than just 'directional' joysticks - with a 'press in to select' button. Since it's analog(10k potentiometers), you'll need two analog reading pins on your microcontroller to determine...

A full color RGB LED ring light! These chrome-plated metal buttons are rugged, but certainly not lacking in flair. Simply drill a 16mm hole into any material up to 1/4" thick and you can fit these in place - there's even a rubber gasket to keep...

The Squid Button makes it super easy to attach a push switch to a Raspberry Pi. Note: Switch and lead colors may vary The Squid Button is in fact a momentary action push switch with trailing leads that end in female header sockets that will...
