SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Jan. 7, 2013 - Synaptics Inc. (NASDAQ: SYNA), a leading developer of human interface solutions, today announced that the company will have its latest TouchPad™ and ThinTouch™ solutions for notebooks, and external devices for the PC and tablet markets on display at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. As an industry leader in human interface solutions, Synaptics continues to help drive the adoption of the fast and fluid "touch first" computing experience that new operating systems, like Windows 8, are now delivering to consumers.

As intuitive gesture usage becomes more prevalent, a more precise input device, either internal or external, becomes even more critical to delivering a high-impact user experience. Synaptics continues to harness its innovation-driven culture and deep systems-level engineering experience to meet this challenge with the industry's most advanced touch technologies. Examples of these technologies for the growing Ultrabook, notebook PC and tablet markets that will be on display at CES 2013 include:

• The TouchPad family of touch-sensitive interface solutions in devices from Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung
• External TouchPad solutions from Dell, HP and Logitech
• ForcePad™ and ThinTouch keyboard implementations
• Remote Control solutions from Logitech, Panasonic, Sony and Vizio

Synaptics will also showcase its unique large touchscreen ClearPad™ capacitive touchscreen technology for mobile devices, the broadest product portfolio in the industry.
