The MicroModule is a finger-actuated “mouse” pointing module that provides complete 360-degree directional control and accurate speed control simultaneously. Users control direction by applying pressure in the direction of the desired movement and adjust the speed by altering the amount of pressure on the device.
MicroModule is ideal for computer cursor control in rugged mobile computers, hardened keyboards, navigation systems, machine control panels, pan and tilt controllers, motion controllers, CNC controllers and medical control equipment. It’s a durable, maintenance-free “miniature” solution that works well in tight spaces and is capable of delivering “mouse” lifetimes of more than 5 million actuations. An integrated sealing rib also makes it possible to seal MicroModule into a system during installation. Output options include RS232C, PS/2 and USB.
