Touch-pad Steering Switch
This is a steering switch simply composed of a touch pad using capacitance sensor and push-switches. It can operate various functions by selecting modes with the push-switches and by entering the state of large/small, up/down, etc. of the object with the touch pad.
Blind operation (operation without looking) is possible for the touch pad as it is only necessary to stroke its surface up and down. Also, as it detects the stroking direction, no function is actuated only by touching the surface, preventing errors.
The touch pad has the advantage of reliability and durability because it does not have any contact point.
