The Smart Cat Touchpad by Cirque - Detailed Specification Sheet

Cirque Smart Cat Touchpad

Smarter than a mouse with the largest touchpad surface and one-touch vertical & horizontal scroll, plus zoom!

No mouse can do all this! Cirque Smart Cat sets a higher standard of performance and comfort with the new generation of GlidePoint technology. The Cirque Smart Cat adds comfort plus performance to computer control with an extra-large touch surface, intelligent software, one-touch scroll and zoom, and distinctive sounds for each operation. Basic mouse functions are a snap. Simply access right-clicks by tapping a finger in the touchpad’s upper right corner, and quickly activate vertical/horizontal scrolling as well as magnification tools by gliding a finger along the touchpad edges. Programmable software allows you to go from fast on-screen movements to pixel-point control. The Smart Cat combines all the power of a full-featured mouse with the unrivaled comfort and durability of a touchpad.

Smart Features:

One Touch Scroll - Both Vertical AND Horizontal Scroll by simply gliding your finger along the right and bottom edges of the touchpad.
One Touch Zoom - Magnify or shrink your documents with just a touch in most applications.
Click Functionality - Both left and right 'clicks' can be activated by tapping your finger directly on the pad. The right tap area is marked on the pad surface with a change of color and texture, left click by tapping anywhere else. You can customize the feature by installing Cirque's driver.
GlidePointTechnology - Cirque’s capacitive touch technology provides complete navigation control of any graphical interface, packed in a space-saving, low-friction, durable mouse alternative. GlidePoint’s sophisticated sensor system quickly responds to precise finger movements.
GlideExtend - Edge extenders are activated when your finger reaches the pad's edge. This Plug-and-Play feature can be customized with installation of the Cirque driver. This feature virtually eliminates the edge of the pad when dragging.
Three programmable mechanical buttons - Launch your browser, open e-mail, and change multimedia settings at the touch of a finger. These virtual programmable buttons can also be customized to instantly pull up any file or perform your favorite commands. No more inconvenient on-screen file searches! Bottom left and right buttons default to left and right click.
Versatile - Device will work on your lap, in a vertical orientation - even upside down (Cirque touchpads are even used on the International Space Station!).
Customizability - Sounds and custom speed, sensitivity, and orientation settings are customizable with installation of Cirque driver.
Withstands Spills and Abuse - Sealed solid-state design is more resistant than trackballs and other mousing devices.

USBOverdrive for Macintosh Shareware Application information

Users that wish to customize their input devices on the Macintosh platform may find the USBOverdrive utility, created by Alessandro Levi Montalcini of interest. This shareware utility has been reported to augment the capabilities of the touchpad and allow for more customization of the touchpad features.

Cirque Corporation has tested our USB GlidePoint products with the USBOverdrive utility on a limited basis. The USBOverdrive utility should enable vertical scrolling capability, and the two side button functionality in addition to augmenting overall control of pointer motion.
