Put A Real Arcade Joystick On Your iPad

Plastic nubs and stickers are tacky! If you want to add some real control to your iPad, do it right. And doing it right is attaching a real, arcade-style aluminium joystick to your iPad’s screen.

The JOYSTICK-IT works by attaching itself to the screen with a suction cup and using conductive foam to make the iPad’s capacitive touchscreen register input. Since it’s removable, you can put it wherever the d-pad of each game is. Watch the joystick in action:

It seems like the nub is the perfect height and the whole stick is easy to control. It’s supposed to become available in limited qualities in late January for $US25. Head over to ThinkGeek to get your name on the list. [ThinkGeek]
