Sometimes playing a game on a small mobile device can be a challenge, but these gaming stickers solve that problem. The 'Invisible Gamepad' is a Kickstarter project designed to reintroduce "tactile feedback" to gaming.
Many touchscreen devices have eradicated the need for buttons altogether, making gaming less responsive for users who are used to the precision of a controller. But instead of adding a bulky controller attachment, these invisibile gaming stickers are weightless, hardly detectable, and most importantly, do not leave any residue behind.
The set of 63 invisible gaming stickers contains a range of different types of controllers to make playing apps more intuitive. These stick-on controllers are compatible with smartphones, tablets and any game from the app store.
