Just when you thought that there weren't going to be more non touchscreen phones, Tokimeki Mall starts selling the Tactile+Plus stick-on buttons. In essence this just mimic buttons as if you were holding a game-pad.



Found here.

But wouldn't it only work on resistive touchscreens? Plastic isn't conductive.
I would wait for a video showing that it works before getting it, its only for certain games anyway.

According Pocket-lint it is a conductive PET material.

The material is the same as used with screen protectors, so will similarly transmit finger presses to the capacitive screen. And, because they are raised, you can feel their location without having to constantly look away from the action. Job done.

The trouble is you have to take it off when not playing the games, there's nowhere to put it so it will easily get lost, it doesn't appeal personally, maybe that's just me
