Quality Joystick from DealExtreme (very cheap)

Here I am about to write a tutorial about a cheap joystick I came across lately which can be bought for only 3.5$ with free shipping to Norway. It is a PS2 repair kit which can easily be used with Arduino concept as well (the input voltage is 5+). It can detect all 8 directions in 2D dimension and also Clicked feature.

Here the outputs from the joystick are only VRx, VRy, SW, GND and +5V.
VRx = x value (see program)
VRy = y value (see program)
SW = if Clicked or Not -> Clicked = 0, NOT clicked = 1
