PSA: Mirror Film Will Not Work on Capacitive Touchscreens

[EoF]

@Didge Hello, I’ve actually ordered a resistive touch screen panel kit. If it were capacitive, your idea would probably work pretty well. I’m not sure if they make capacitive based panels though (affordable at least).

@EoF AWESOME and thanks for a reply!

I do hope you will keep us updated with your progress, can I ask… what size touchscreen are you buying and the rough cost?

This is getting interesting!

@Didge I am buying a touch screen panel kit, it’s a 21.5 inch one. Unfortunately, they seem to only make these things in China so I have to wait a while before I get it. I ordered it about a week ago.

This is pretty close to exactly what I ordered.

I ordered from Ali Express though, which I’ve never used before. I was able to find one on there for ~$60 (and free shipping).
