iPad owners looking for a fun way to play games on their devices must check out ThinkGeek’s JOYSTICK-IT iPad Arcade Stick. Simply stick the joystick on top of the virtual d-pad controls on your iPad and watch your scores go off the charts!

Review
ThinkGeek’s JOYSTICK-IT iPad Arcade Stick is the perfect solution for those who would much rather play games using a physical controller instead of the iPad’s virtual controls. Made from solid milled-aluminum, the JOYSTICK-IT iPad Arcade Stick is placed on the iPad using the suction cup built underneath the joystick.

The JOYSTICK-IT works best with games that use virtual on-screen controls such as PAC-MAN, Galaga and Dig-Dug REMIX. Other games which use both left and right virtual controls such as Reckless Racing HD, also benefit by having two JOYSTICK-ITs for better handling and control.

In order for the suction cup to stick, the screen first be throughly cleaned and completely oil-free. If not, the JOYSTICK-IT will lose its suction and pop right off the screen. It’s also important to occasionally press down on the joystick to keep the controller sealed as tightly as possible.

Recommendation
ThinkGeek’s JOYSTICK-IT iPad Arcade Stick is recommended to gamers of all ages. Games are more enjoyable when a physical controller is used. The JOYSTICK-IT iPad Arcade Stick is available at ThinkGeek’s website for $24.99 or $39.99 for two JOYSTICK-ITs.
