Physical buttons on a touchscreen device

Asked By janetsbraswell 50 points N/A Posted on - 06/07/2012

Who would have thought that a physical keyboard or buttons could morph out of a touchscreen device?

Tactus technology is making it possible. Physical buttons are available when you want them. It can even provide those keys you need for a more easy and fun gaming experience. Manufacturers only need to replace existing screens and upgrade them to Tactile Layer. But it is still expected to come out middle of next year.

Physical buttons on a touchscreen device

Implementing buttons on touch screen smartphone is better idea especially on gaming. Many people asking apple to implement buttons because as for me playing games on iphone is very annoying especially adventure games.

There are many peripherals like Icab support buttons on iphone and it increases its compatibility.

Physical buttons on a touchscreen device

Hi there Janetsbraswell,

Tactus' newly-invented tactile layer for touchscreen devices is really amazing. Real buttons actually rise up from the screen, allowing us to type messages more comfortably. It also makes the gaming more fun and exciting. After using the keys, you can make it disappear and the screen would go back to it's original smoothness, as if nothing happened. But it is not available yet at the moment. Tactus said that it will be out in the market middle of next year.
