NavPoint

Synaptics NavPoint™ capacitive sensors bring new functionality to human interfaces, including scrolling, selection, and navigation. You can even combine a variety of options within a single module. Tap custom features for enhancing visual and tactile feedback—such as LED illumination, textures, embossing, printing, or snap domes. And mount NavPoint solutions beneath plastic casing or even on a curved surface.

Where you’ll find NavPoint

You’ll find NavPoint capacitive sensors in handheld electronic devices such as PDAs, as well as ultra-mobile PCs. Today’s handheld devices support increasingly complex functions and content, with limited ways for users to access and manage information. NavPoint solutions improve user interaction by offering simple and intuitive controls that serve as an ideal replacement for mechanical buttons and switches.
