Without reading I would say it's Bluetooth joystick.
Looks awesome now time to read about it.
Edit: seems I was wrong here how it works.
The foam bottom of the JOYSTICK-IT mimics finger-presses and fools your capacitive touchscreen into thinking you’re actually tapping the directions on the display instead of just using the joystick.

Works on androids too :o
I like it!
Edit: it's like the styluses they sell for capacitive displays, this also works on all phones with a capacitive display, so I'd guess it's similar.

It works and doesn't just flop about a lot as you try to move it?

I LOVE Thinkgeek! I've seen that before but I've never thought about using it for Pocket Legends. . . I just may have to get it now.

I saw an ad for a different kind that looked better -- transparent and less intrusive. But I would never use one anyway.

Lol I still don't understand how anyone can bear to look at Minecraft. It hurts my eyes.

Honestly, it was addicting when I tried it... I don't know why, but it was. It's the only positive thing of that virus.
