hmm electronics projects people help me out, I'm looking for a part but idk if it exists off the shelf: a 2d joystick that holds its position

I think they've been used as pointing devices before the mouse became ubiquitous but idk if they're still a thing

by holds its position I mean it doesn't return to neutral nor does it let gravity take its course when I release it
