Based on innovative technology, our products provide almost limitless design possibilities for OEMs resulting in intuitive, ergonomic human interface solutions for a wide range of electronic devices. We offer two broad product lines:
FinePoint: the only digital-based pen input product available today. Like the evolution of cell phones, digital communication provides higher performance and greater capability for feature expansion than analog technology. We offer a wide range of product choices and user-defined features to enable leading-edge input for PCs, smartphones and other associated products.
Duraswitch: a unique switch product that combines the friendly tactile feel of mechanical switches with the flat-panel design of membrane switches. Our patented pushbutton, rotary and mouse switch products enable full integration of multiple switch types, customized design and highly reliable performance.
Featured Case Study
CUSTOMER: A leading coffee machine manufacturer
CHALLENGES:
- High-use environment: equipment is used in retail coffee shops that experience consistent high volume traffic
- Rushed employees: in quick-turn shops, employees must balance speed and quality customer service
- Frequent cleaning: machines are cleaned often and require sealed panels to ensure the integrity of the switches
SOLUTION: Duraswitch licensee, Tastitalia, designed panels using the PushGate® pushbutton switch. Like standard membrane switches, PushGate offers a completely sealed switch, thus solving the cleaning issue. However, PushGate provides the added advantage of consistent tactile feel over time. Coffee shop employees, working under quick time constraints in a high volume environment, benefit from the friendly user feedback and consistent tactile feel for all of the buttons on the switch panel.
