Piezo Haptic Trackpads
Windows 11 now supports haptic trackpads!
Microsoft lays the foundation for PC OEMs to customize and use thinner piezo trackpads to design lighter and thinner notebooks.
Boréas piezo haptic trackpads can be as thin as 2.3mm, are cost effective and we partner with established touchpad suppliers to manufacture reliable modules.
Building better PC trackpads for Windows 11 has never been easier.
Razor Thin Module
Boréas Piezo haptic trackpads can be as thin as 2.3 mm while offering the best user experience possible.
Force Sensing and HD Haptics
The Boréas piezo haptic trackpad mechanical design is simple and enable consistent force sensing and HD haptics on large surfaces.
Cost Effective
Our piezo haptic trackpads use fewer actuators than the competition and use the same hardware for haptics and force sensing to reduce the overall module cost.
Reliable Design
Piezo actuators have great attributes for haptic trackpads. Boréas leverage the actuators' piezoelectric effect and the BOS1901 driver built-in sensing to design simple and highly reliable modules.
Easy to Manufacture
Boréas is partnering with household names, like Cirque Corporation, in the trackpad industry to simplify manufacturing.
Design Friendly
Turn your industrial design team's creative ideas, like edge-to-edge or multi-zone trackpads, into actual products with Boreas Piezo haptic hardware.

BOS1901 Piezo Driver
Boréas piezo haptic trackpad are powered by our revolutionary BOS1901 piezo driver.
The BOS1901 piezo haptic driver uses the state-of-the-art CapDrive technology circuit architecture that translates into piezo haptic trackpads with the industry's lowest power consumption, built-in force sensing, and best haptic feel.
