can you remove the touch section of a lcd touchscreen and use it by itself? Or put it on another screen? Cheers

I dont know about other screens, but for my k301, it seems that the touch controller is embedded in the circuit board which also handles the lcd functions. So keep in mind that the controller for the usb might not necessarily be a separate entity that you can just pull apart and use.
