I ordered these parts from SparkFun on Sep 2025. Compared to a previous order from Oct 2023 it’s a different part now, and the range of the pots on the new part is smaller than it was which causes “dead spots” in the four diagonal corners. The new parts are visibly different with black colored pots, as opposed to the orange colored pots as shown on the web site. I tested all the new joystick parts that I ordered and they all have the same reduced range behavior.
Is it still possible to get the original orange colored pot version of this part? Maybe through Digi-Key or Mouser.com, or maybe in the future? They’re better than this new version of the part.
