DS Thumb Stylus
Adjustable Velcro straps
Comfortable fit

Simulates analog joystick control


It feels great and dare I say better than a joy stick. Does anyone else have this? What do you guys think?

Someone tried having me sell their product. It's a bendable stylus that wraps around your finger tip. Honestly it was a good idea, and was strong enough to sit well and work well, but I never tried it, it would fit in the DS backslot, and the thing was UGLY and CHEAP.

Here it is (just went searching)

The MadCatz DS Thumb Stylus? Hmmm, I'm quite interested in trying one. Where'd you get it? I haven't seen anything like that over here in Blighty.

whats the price?
The only game I use the thumb pad for is mario, which i am currently not playing now.

I bought it at Walmart. It was 5 dollars for 3 stylus and 1 thumb stylus, but it was well worth it.

Those both look quite good, actually. I was really excited when I heard about the pack in thumb stylus that was with the DS. Low and behold, I open it up and the thing is absolute garbage. It feels like glueing a tic-tac to a piece of ribbon and then attaching said ribbon to your thumb. x_x

Maybe I'll have to try one of these out. :)

I'm going to have to try this out. I found mario 64 absolutely unplayable with the D-pad or pack in thumbstrap, so hopefully this will remedy that. Thanks for the heads up! :)
