Claim Text:
1. A non-traditional controller apparatus for touchscreen devices, comprising: a touchscreen controller having an interface with one or more conductive input constituents configured for transmitting input directives; each conductive input constituent having a first end and a second end and a conductive path that remains present between the first end and the second end; wherein user manipulation of the first end permits a capacitive load of a user to be conveyed such that the associated conductive path to the second end is completed in order to carry out an input; and a transceiver device; with said interface being connected to said transceiver device by wire, wirelessly or both; wherein the transceiver device is configured to wirelessly communicate with a touchscreen device to actuate one or more touchscreen soft inputs when one or more of the linked inputs associated with said interface is/are manipulated; and wherein manipulation of an input associated with said interface results in correlative engagement of a touchscreen device's soft counterpart using said transceiver device and an associative mapping interface.
