Should we attach hardware to the iPad?

Imagine a whole slew of physical controls to customize your touch-screen dj experience…Picked up a couple of the Arcade Joysticks yesterday, peep it..

You got some details on that joystick?

i liked the livid controller that used the IPAD aswell

How does that even work? I thought the ipad/iphone screens were heat sensitive? Hence you cant unlock your phone with gloves on…?

I don’t think it’s heat sensitive, iirc it’s about differences in the electrical current :wink:

It’s not heat I have a stylus for my iPhone I use when i have gloves on.

I see, its a mystery as to how its works for me lol

Close up footage and explanation of Joystick

I’m really liking the jog wheel joystick… seems to be really precise, as you say in the video :slight_smile:

I’d be really worried about getting carried away with the joystick and cracking the ipad screen though.

The touch screen is about the electrical current in you body. If you attach a metal lead to the negative terminal of a AA battery you can use it as a stylus.
