Navigation switch provides cost-efficient alternative to standard touch pad technology
(Product News, 14 May 2008 )
C&K Components has developed a 14-function navigation switch. Designated SensoNav, the switch combines sensitive touch and tactile functions while guaranteeing an extended life span of 1 million actuations per direction.
The combination of sensitive and tactile technology enables the standard 5-way center, up, down, left and right directions with tactile feedback, free direction scrolling on the sensitive level, as well as two scrolling directions with variable speeds and 4 scrolling directions with double speeds.
Typical applications for the SensoNav(TM) switch include portable games, mobile phones, MP3 players and universal remote controls.
Developed as an alternative to standard touch pad technology, the SensoNav switch utilizes the same driver that drives the keyboard in significantly less space, and simplifies designs and reduces cost due to no additional electronics required.
