Mobile-friendly jQuery slider, without bundling an entire mobile library?

Question

I have a working web application that makes use of the jQuery UI default slider.

I'm getting complaints from users that the sliders don't work well on mobile (seems you have to tap, rather than drag, to get them to work).

Does anyone know a jQuery slider plugin that works well on mobile?

Obviously I could use the slider in the jQuery Mobile framework, or another mobile library, but I'm unwilling to add an entire mobile framework to my site just for the sake of one slider!

Thanks for your help.

I am aware that this is an old thread but in case anyone comes across it now I would highly recommend using noUiSlider. It works well on mobiles and is really simple to configure.
