Analog Stick is a passive item added in Afterbirth †.

Effects

• +0.3 tears up
• Allows tears to be fired diagonally.
  • With a keyboard or using buttons to fire with a controller, tears can be shot at 45-degree angles by holding two buttons. This is known as eight-directional firing.
  • With an analog controller, analog input is accepted, allowing full analog aiming in any direction.

Notes

• Enables full directional firing for keyboard and mouse users with the accessibility option EnableMouseControl enabled.

Synergies

• Cricket's BodyGrants -1 Tear Delay and reduces Range. When tears hit an object or deplete their range, they spawn 4 smaller tears, whose Range and Damage scale with Isaac's./ The ParasiteIsaac's tears split in two when they hit something.: When tears are fired diagonally, the split tears will also move diagonally.

Interactions

• Compound FractureIncreases range. Tears turn into bones, which shatter into 1-3 bone shards upon hitting an enemy or obstacle.: When bone tears are fired diagonally, the bone shards will not always move diagonally.
• Epic FetusIsaac's tears are replaced with guided missiles, like those used by the Doctor's Remote.: No effect because missiles already can be fired in any direction.
• IncubusA demonic familiar that follows Isaac and shoots tears identical to Isaac's in terms of damage, range, fire rate, and effects.: Incubus cannot fire in non-cardinal directions, only tears up applies.
• The Ludovico TechniqueInstead of firing tears, Isaac controls one floating tear that hover over obstacles. This tear deals constant damage when held in place over an enemy.: No effect because the tear can already move in any direction.
• MarkedIsaac will now fire tears automatically directed at a red target on the ground which is controlled by the player. This allows for a full 360 degree tear firing radius. Can be overridden by other tear modifiers such as Mom's Knife or Brimstone.: Overridden by Marked.
• Mom's KnifeIsaac's tears are replaced by a knife that pierces enemies, can travel through obstacles, and can hurt enemies while Isaac is holding it. Holding down the fire button before firing increases its range and power.: Only the tears up applies, as Mom's Knife can already be fired at 45-degree angles without Analog Stick. However, if the player is using an analog controller, then Analog Stick is helpful as it allows full 360 degree movement.
• Tiny PlanetRange up and makes shot tears revolve around Isaac until they drop.: Overriden by Tiny Planet.
• Tractor BeamIsaac emits a beam from his face. Isaac's tears travel in the path of the beam.: Overriden by Tractor Beam.

Trivia

• The name and item sprite is a reference to a part of controllers used for moving characters and the camera in video games.
