Touchscreens, while a creative control method for games, simply can't compete with the tactile precision of a physical controller. Fortunately, the engineers over at Ten One Design have come up with a creative new solution called Fling – a stick-on plastic thumbstick that affords players a sense of resistance and tactile recognition, but maintains touch-enabled control.
The design uses two small suction cups that can be positioned anywhere along an iPad's bezel to mount the Fling into place. From there, users are given a small thumbstick-like surface to use within a limited area, giving a clearly defined control space rather than sliding all around the screen. The clear plastic materials used in the Fling prevent it from obscuring your view of the screen.
The Fling is available for pre-order now for $24.95 and will ship later this month.
