Synaptics @ CES 2014: Good Clickpads and Thin Keyboards
 

I stopped by Synaptics' booth at CES to spend some time with its new Clickpad 2.0. I'd been briefed on the new Clickpad a couple of months ago and was told that it resolved all of my issues with the performance/behavior of PC clickpads. With Clickpad 2.0 Synaptics not only supplies the clickpad controller but also some (all?) of the mechanicals, including the hinge. It's a fully integrated solution that isn't much more expensive than what an OEM will spend putting together their own from multiple vendors. The result is dramatic. Not only does Clickpad 2.0 allow for more consistent click response regardless of where you press on the pad, it also does a very good job of palm rejection.
