Joystick

Hello, I have a Rapoo joystick and it has been working just fine but last week it started acting weird.

I am running a gear motor on my robots sholder. It is 6 to 24 volts (I am running about 11 to 12 volts) and draws 90 to 150 mA. I accidentally ran it past a stop and stripped the gears when it stalled. Can I prevent this from happening again with a fuse? If so what amperage should the fuse be?
