Cortron offers a wide variety of high performance Force Transducer / Touchpad pointing device solutions. For those applications where a customer would prefer to have a pointing device that is fully sealed from the top (no through hole drain) or a minimal amount of moving parts, force transducers and touchpads can an ideal choice.Button layout options include utilizing the same switch bezel as our popular DuraTrackball and are positioned to support the natural physiology of finger movements and the natural differences in finger length for hand sizes from the 5th to the 95th percentile. Cursor point-and-click operations are performed effortlessly using natural finger movements.

Technologies include ‘force stick’ type transducers, a standard ‘laptop style’ touchpad as well as the Cortron exclusive ‘TouchPuck’ device that utilizes capacitance sensing on a limited motion cursor device. The TouchPuck allows great pointing device control while surviving the harshest EMI, RFI and S/V environments out there – all in a washdown compliant package. Contact Cortron today to see how Cortron can implement a transducer pointing device for your application to meet your program requirements.
