Synaptics Capacitive Scrolling Solution Featured in New Version MoGo Mouse X54(TM)

SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 24, 2007 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- Synaptics Incorporated (Nasdaq: SYNA), a leading developer of interface solutions for mobile computing, communications, and entertainment devices, today announced that its custom scrolling solution is being used in the new revolutionary MoGo Mouse X54 by Newton Peripherals.

Newton Peripherals' MoGo Mouse X54 is a Bluetooth-enabled wireless mouse unlike any other mouse on the market, weighing only .5oz. Folding it flat and storing it in the ExpressCard/54 slot, recharges it. The Synaptics capacitive ScrollStrip(TM) makes navigating through documents easy and comfortable for the user.

Synaptics' ScrollStrip(TM) technology provides intelligent sensing features, including: 

    -- Speed-adjustment, which allows users to control the distance scrolled
       by the speed that their finger moves along the sensor. The faster the
       finger moves, the further the user scrolls.
    -- Immunity to moisture, dirt and surface scratches, durability and
       reliability, as there are no moving parts to wear out with repeated use.

"Synaptics is very pleased to provide a robust scrolling solution for the compact MoGo Mouse X54," said Mariel van Tatenhove, Synaptics Senior Product Line Director. "The Newton Peripherals MoGo Mouse X54 is an excellent example of how our technology and experience in custom design enables our customers to create small form factor devices without compromising the user experience."

"One of the biggest obstacles we had with the MoGo Mouse is finding a compact scrolling solution for our mouse," said Matt Westover, CEO of Newton Peripherals. "There was no way a traditional scroll wheel would fit in our MoGo Mouse because of its compact design. Synaptics' capacitive ScrollStrip integrated with the MoGo Mouse X54 allowed us to add the important scrolling feature without changing the compact industrial design that the MoGo Mouse is known for."

Availability: MoGo Mouse X54 will be available in the second quarter of this year from a worldwide network of authorized resellers at an MSRP of $79.99.
