Synaptics ChiralMotion™ technology provides an innovative alternative to conventional scrolling. Traditional scrolling methods—scrollbars, wheels, and scrolling regions—are more restrictive, less efficient, and require fatiguing repetitive motions. With ChiralMotion technology, one continuous circular motion controls scrolling.

Features and Benefits of ChiralMotion Technology for Handhelds, PCs, and Keyboards

ChiralMotion technology is well-suited for small handheld products such as mobile phones, PDAs, and MP3 players that require feature-rich functionality. Notebook computers and computer keyboards can also be enhanced by ChiralMotion technology.

Superior Industrial Design Ultra-compact designs are possible with ChiralMotion technology. The same amount of sensor space supports more functionality. Sophisticated With ChiralMotion, the entire surface of a TouchPad or ClearPad is available for scrolling, allowing a wide range of scrolling with a single gesture—from the longest distances to the finest, most precise movements. Easy to Use ChiralMotion scrolling is achieved by making one smooth continuous circular motion. Traditional scrolling methods require repetitive motions that are fatiguing. Efficient ChiralMotion blends fine positioning control with rapid scrolling through lengthy lists. It’s easy to quickly change the direction of scrolling by reversing the direction of motion. Intuitive ChiralMotion scrolling continues until the user’s finger lifts off the surface of the TouchPad or ClearPad.
