KY-YG01 Stainless Steel Hula Point Joystick Cursor Module
KY-YG01 is a hula point cursor module that uses metal shrapnel conductive contacts for its two function keys and a joystick for cursor positioning.
Product Overview
KY-YG01 is a hula point cursor module that uses metal shrapnel conductive contacts for its two function keys and a joystick for cursor positioning. It suits vending machines, self service kiosks, intelligent storage express cabinets and industrial or military control equipment where a full trackball is too large. At 0.25Kg net weight it drops into a small rear mounted cutout.
- Joystick positioning needs far less panel area than a trackball while still driving a cursor
- Metal shrapnel conductive contacts give a defined click without a moving mechanical switch stack
- SUS304 wire drawing stainless steel panel resists prying and corrosion on street side cabinets
- Laser etched black characters stay legible after repeated cleaning
- Works over PS/2 or USB so it fits both legacy and current controllers
Application Scenarios
- Self service vending machines
- Self service kiosks in public spaces
- Intelligent storage express cabinets and parcel lockers
- Industrial control equipment panels
- Military equipment consoles
Who It Is For
- Vending and locker equipment manufacturers
- Kiosk integrators short on front panel space
- Industrial and defence control panel builders
Problems It Solves
- Trackballs do not fit compact panels that still need cursor control
- Plastic pointer modules crack when public terminals are struck
- Printed legends wear off on high traffic outdoor equipment
- Mixed installed bases need both PS/2 and USB options
Technical Features
- Joystick cursor positioning plus two function keys
- Metal shrapnel conductive contact method for button input
- Power supply 5V±5% with working current under 100mA
- Key size 12mm*12mm*1.5mm with 0.45mm key trip
- Operation force 2N ± 10% and durability above 2 million operations
- Rear mounting with 0.25Kg net weight and 0.3Kg gross weight
- Working temperature -10℃~50℃ and storage -30℃~85℃

How It Compares
| 50mm trackball module | The joystick occupies a much smaller panel footprint at 0.25Kg net weight |
|---|---|
| Plastic joystick pointer | SUS304 wire drawing stainless steel holds up to prying and corrosive air |
| Silk screened key legends | Laser etched black characters do not rub away during routine cleaning |
Use Guide
- Fit the module from the rear of your panel and secure the studs evenly
- Supply 5V±5% and confirm the port can source under 100mA
- Select PS/2 or USB to suit the controller before ordering
- Operate within -10℃~50℃ and store above -30℃
- Avoid solvent cleaners that would dull the drawn stainless finish
