Gaming on a touchscreen can be a harrowing experience for a lot of old school games, especially for those who have been growing up with the tactile feedback provided from analog joysticks and buttons. The problem with touchscreen games that have on-board controls is usually due to the fact that your fingers can easily slip off where you’re supposed to press, especially if you don’t pay attention. Many different accessories have been created to solve this problem, and one of the latest ones to hit the market is the JOYSTICK-IT from Think Geek. This shiny little joystick (that looks just like a pawn in chess) gives you the much needed feel of a real joystick on a touchscreen device. All you have to do is put it on top of your iPad whenever you feel like gaming and use it like you would use a regular joystick! It’s that simple. No wires, cables, batteries or setup required. Just make sure the game has a virtual joystick for you to place this over and you’re good to go. It’s available now for $24.99 (single) or $39.99 (dual) over at Think Geek.
