This is seriously awesome. Incredibly simple, but still brilliantly intuitive at the same time.

The Joystick-IT from makers of all things cool, ThinkGeek, solves the problem of a lack of physical controls with your touschcreen. It allowins you to navigate your mobile gaming old-school-stylee, by using a capacitive touchscreen compatible solid milled-aluminium control stick.

You simply place the Joystick-IT over the touch D-pad and away you go. It works on any capactive touchscreen device and with any game that features a virtual D-pad.

We love it. And want one now.

The Joytick-IT is available now, and costs $24.99.
