Turn Your iPhone or iPod touch Into a Gamepad With ‘Stick-On Buttons’

A Japanese company has come up with a stick on plastic nubs that you can apply to your touch screen device to "replicate" the feel of the buttons on a game pad.The idea is to recreate the feel of a controller or game pad by slapping these bumpy stickers onto your iPhone or iPod touch.

While the transparent appliques are applied like a screen protector, they really seem to be of dubious benefit. While having tactile feedback is helpful when playing on a console or computer and looking up at the display and having the pad out of your line of sight, it doesn’t seem helpful in this case. On a touchscreen handheld you are already looking at the controls on the display and the controls may not be in the same place for different games.

Priced only at around $7, these Tactile+ Stickers can be ordered online here.
