Joystick Input for Rotation about Z-Axis

Is there a way to get a reading for desired rotation about the z-axis of the robot from a single-joystick setup? Is one able to twist the joystick or use the "wheel" on top of the joystick? And if it is the "wheel" we need to use, what is the range of input values we can get from there? I am really just looking for the name of the input (like in the code) and what the range of possible input values for it is.

Thanks in advance guys!

EDIT: One more question: Is there a better joystick or better solution to this? We want to program a mecanum drive and our algorithm needs a z-axis rotation input
