Synaptics tweaks hinge design, palm rejection for ClickPad 2.0
 

This morning, Synaptics announced that its latest ClickPad has picked up an award from the Consumer Electronics Association. Version 2.0 of the clicky touchpad has a new hinge that's manufacturered by Synaptics instead of by device makers. The updated mechanism is intended to eliminate the "dead zones" found on some earlier ClickPad implementations. Synaptics tells us the ClickPad 2.0 should register clicks more consistently and ought to be more durable, as well.
