Hands-on with Synaptics' force-sensitive touchpad

Next year, Synaptics' ForcePad will bring pressure sensitivity to touchpads. It can track five fingers independently, each with up to a kilogram of effective force in precise 15-gram increments. We got our fingers on one and were impressed by its potential. We also checked out Synaptics' upcoming ThinTouch keyboard, which melds innovative switch tech with a side order of capacitive touch, and captured the low-latency ClearPad Series 4 touchscreen on our high-speed camera.
