It has one joystick, allowing to control in two axes, five utility buttons, including 4 big ones: X, Y, A, B and one small SELECT, and additional RESET button. The FeatherWing Joy communicates over the I2C bus, so it takes up very few GPIO pins. The interface address is configurable, defaulting to 0x49. Supported development environments include Arduino IDE and CircuitPython. Dedicated libraries are available on the manufacturer's website.

- 3.3 V - power supply pin 3.3 V.
- GND - chip ground pin.
- RST - RESET pin
- SDA - I2C logic pin, communication interface data line.
- SCL - I2C logic pin, communication interface clock line.
- A0 / A1 - I2C address pins, default interface address(configurable)
- Optional Interrupt Pin - optional interrupt pins.
