Overview

Touch Leadership

Synaptics builds on over two decades of touchpad innovation, delivering industry-leading input technologies such as force navigation, advanced palm rejection algorithms, and integrated security features.

Integrated Input

The TouchPad™ family emphasizes intuitiveness, tight system integration, and robustness, supporting multi-finger sensing, buttonless designs, pressure-based input, and secure authentication across computing platforms.

Scalable Platform

Synaptics provides configurable hardware and OEM-customized drivers that enable optimized performance, feature differentiation, and reliable operation across a wide range of notebook and emerging device applications.

Touch Interface Module

The proven touch interface solution from the market leader. Years of perfecting the user experience has resulted in a TouchPad with excellent pointing ballistics, natural response and feel, and TypeGuard™ -- palm rejection algorithms that virtually eliminate accidental selection for your hand resting on your notebook PC.

Advanced Driver

Fully customizable driver for advanced gestures, from 2-finger scrolling to PinchZoom and more.

TypeGuard™

Patented Accidental Contact Mitigation (ACM) reduces accidental taps and clicks.

Portfolio of Solutions

A variety of sensor types, mechanical design choices, and driver features enable OEMs to create differentiated products.

Multi-finger Sensing

Enables advanced gestures such as pinch and zoom, 3-finger flick, and more.

Elegant Industrial Design

The TouchPad is the button! ClickPad enables all of the functionality of the TouchPad – scrolling, pointing, navigation, and selection – but without the need for external buttons. The result is a clean, intuitive, capacitive-sensing input solution that maximizes surface area -- up to 30% larger than with standard touchpads -- that accommodates added functions, such as gesture control. ClickPad provides crisp, responsive clicks and a natural, intuitive feel. Available in traditional top hinged designs as well as all surface clickable solutions.

ClickSmart™ Left/Right Buttons

Traditional TouchPad button locations combined with new 1/2 finger left/right clicks.

Advanced Driver

Fully customizable driver for advanced gestures, from 2-finger scrolling to PinchZoom and more.

3D Touch Interface

Force sensing literally creates an entirely new dimension in touch, enabling cutting-edge user interfaces with more intuitive gestures and easier navigation. ForcePad provides a thinner touchpad with pressure-sensitive scrolling and zooming, and press-to-click capabilities anywhere on the touchpad. The result is fewer required movements, minimized repetitive gestures and users getting the most out of their touchpad area. And because it’s form-factor-compatible with Synaptics TouchPads, OEMs can integrate ForcePad quickly and easily.
