I picked up my surface 2 Pro yesterday and pcsx2 works amazing on it.
I was wondering if theres any pad plugin that provides touch controls with overlay? 
I haven't seen any around or plugin coders are not really interested in making one.

I just see it as a great option for anyone who owns a Surface Pro or a Windows Tablet with similar performance.
Nope. not sure a person would want that many buttons on a damn touchscreen though

People do and it boggles my mind too.

At least on Android there are programs that will let you map touch points to keyboard inputs. If such a program exists for windows you could use that to set it up.
there is something thats called gestureworks gameplay but it hogs the cpu which decreases the framerate on PCSX2.
so I'f been thinking, making a overlay in gsdx that interacts with a pad plugin would be a better idea.
Ok scratch this, the latest version of GestureWorksGameplay and pcsx2 no longer works.
Its showing the touch layout but the screen where the GSdx output is supposed to be stays black.
Just mentioning, me and a friend are currently working on touchscreen controls.

The part that's already done is the button layout image, applied using an external fx shader, 
it's one 1920x1080 px image with transparency that is being automatically stretched depending on the window size.
Now for the hardest part implementing WM_gesture and WM_touch messages of the Windows Touch API into LilyPad for it to regnognize touchscreen input.
We're pretty new into this and I can't promise if we can't get this to work Tongue2
Good luck, would be cool for some peeps.
