Overview:


  • Simple structure and, thus, highly cost-competitive, durable, low-profile
  • Available in both 4-way and center-click types
  • Highly user-friendly operation
  • No need to be connected with mother boards (easy to design in, 5 port support ?)
Semi-custom made type:


  • Ideal for short lead-time, small production lot projects
  • Key illumination type available as an option
  • Standard microprocessor available. Through a connector, can be connected to your mother board easily
  • Standard output available (USB, I2C and so forth)
Custom made type:

  • Low-profile. Ideal for small portable devices
  • In addition to 360 deg analog pointing, scroll, pressure sensing operation available though the disc surface
  • Key illumination type available as an option
  • Made by silicone rubber. Highly cost-completive and durable
How does it work?


  • The rubber sensor potion to have more than 4 conductive rubbers
  • The conductive areas will be touched to PCB
  • Area of connection changes per the pressure and, thus, the resistance changes per the applied pressure
  • The voltage change will be converted to the location information through a firmware.
