Metal Trackpad

Consumer electronics

Force & Touch

Customer :

Laptop manufacturers are increasingly looking for premium, minimalist designs that combine refined aesthetics, durability and high-performance user interfaces, without compromising product reliability or user experience.

Integrating a precise and responsive trackpad directly into a metal surface remains a major challenge. Conventional solutions often require dedicated components, mechanical buttons, visible cuts or design compromises that affect both durability and visual consistency. Nanomade ultra-sensitive deformation sensors overcome these limitations by enabling invisible force sensing directly through metal surfaces, delivering precise, intentional and reliable interactions in a seamless trackpad design.

Nanomade solution

Invisible integration

Metal Trackpad combines force sensing and haptic feedback through a fully seamless metal surface, without compromising design or performance.

Reliable intentional interaction

Nanomade enables true multi-touch interaction, not just single-finger input, allowing users to perform a full range of intuitive gestures directly through metal.

Physical click feeling

High-resolution haptic feedback adapts vibration intensity to the user’s touch force, recreating a precise mechanical click sensation through a seamless metal surface.
