Capacitive joystick -- Who's going to be the first to try this out .. ?

[nook-color]

This joystick looks interesting

Can't quite figure out how it works, but I wouldn't mind getting a physical joystick on my tablet for any gaming function. I'm not a big fan of the on screen capacitive controllers for moving around screen.

Who's gonna be the Guinea pig. It's only 20 bucks shipped!

Yes, its more expensive, but this one would probably be a lot better for gaming, and you would look a lot less retarded in public.

By touching the joystick buttons when you move the handle.

I actually have one of these, called a JOYSTICK-IT. It's basically that little stick, with a spongy pad attached beneath the silver stick and just above the suction cup. As you tilt the stick in any direction, the sponge pad presses the screen in that direction, which acts as if it were your finger. Works pretty well. My Prime is coming in tomorrow, according to Fed-Ex' tracking. I'll take a few pictures or possibly a video of it.

Edit: Also, you have to place it directly on top of the virtual stick, which means moving it for different games, which is really easy. (seconds worth of time.) And depending, the stick can be long and uncomfortable if you plan on holding the the tablet with your forefingers below it and thumb on the stick.
