JOYSTICK-IT Tablet Arcade Stick

If the gods of gaming had wanted us to play video games by swishing touch-sensitive screens they wouldn’t have bothered inventing joysticks. But they did, so where does that leave all you sausage-fingered tablet gamers? With a conundrum: carry on fumbling or achieve new high scores with the JOYSTICK-IT Tablet Arcade Stick.

Compatible with any game that uses an on-screen control pad, this sleek aluminium joystick has been designed to work with iPads, Android tablets or any other gizmo with a capacitive touchscreen. Just suction it over the on-screen virtual control pad and get twiddling.

Removable and reposition-able, the lightweight JOYSTICK-IT boasts a laser etched crosshair design atop its knob (no sniggering at the back) for added thumb traction. Factor in precision movement and lightning fast response time and you’re looking at a peripheral that’ll cause your blister cream supplies to go down as your scores go up – and that’s just the way it should be. Game on!
