From the project

me and friends build a open source vr headset based on hades vr (not anymore) and using psmove to offer a cost effective wired pcvr solution with a smaller size than other similar projects

These thumbstick components are widely available on Ali Express as replacement thumbsticks for game controllers. Unlike a traditional potentiometer based joystick, these sticks only operate with a specific polarity, so ensure you select one meant specifically for the PS5 to match the design of this board.
