For a normal rotary potentiometer the resistance track and wiper travel each cover an angular range of about 300°. For a joystick, however, the wiper travel is only about 60°.
Datasheets for joysticks that I've read so far give the pot value as, say, 10kΩ but don't make it clear whether that is the resistance over 60° or 300°. Here's the situation :
For the joystick, if the spec says "10k" does that mean the resistance range is 10k from a to b or from c to d ? (The latter would imply a resistance of ~ 50k from a to b).
