A stock touch sensor can be a great solution for your product, not to mention cost effective, but it can require some compromises.

A compromised design means that engineering made accommodations in the design of the unit to be able to make the stock sensor work.

Common reasons for compromises:

• fixed display sizes
• suboptimal placement of mounting hardware
• fixed sensor tail length and placement

 

Design compromises often include:

• requiring additional components
• additional assembly steps
• more expensive assembly processes
• complicated software development
• longer development period
• removal of product features
• compromised look and/or feel
• more complicated rework or repair procedures

If you can’t afford to compromise, consider a custom touch sensor – custom doesn’t automatically mean $$$, especially when you end up with the product you want, exactly as you envisioned it!
