Does JOYSTICK-IT work with MAME on PC

hardwaremamepc

I'm thinking of getting a JOYSTICK-IT by ThinkGeek, the guys who developed the iCade. However, I would like to know if the Joystick works for a MAME Emulator on PC.

It should be able to connect fine, since it is Bluetooth based, however I have doubts because of the iCade's incompatibility with PC (Discussed here).

Does anyone have experience with the Joystick? Or can anyone tell me if it would work?

JOYSTICK-IT does not contain any electronics, but works by mimicking a human finger and this registers as a press on the screen. This product will not work with a PC unless you could get input from a touch input device to register the presses and map them to key presses.
