Flailing away at the skins on your iPad becomes a little less…virtual, with Pix & Stix, a clever Aussie innovation that lets you pound on your tablet with actual miniature drumsticks, and strum that on-screen guitar with a real pick. It’s quite the reality check for GarageBand fans. The trick to not scratching the heck out of your screen on guitar, then smashing your iPad to crunchy lil pieces for the drum track, lies in the protective, conductive rubber tips—rubberization, from the people who brought you Wallee cases and accessories. You can buy Pix & Stix for $29.95 Australian (about $30.40 US), here.
