TouchNetix expands with AX24A touch and force controller New Products | January 29, 2026 By Alina NeacsuTouchNetix has introduced the AX24A, a touch and force sensing controller aimed at applications that rely on physical buttons rather than touchscreens. The device is positioned for use in industrial, automotive and entertainment systems, particularly where designers are moving towards solid-state interfaces behind conductive surfaces. Combining touch and force sensing in a single deviceThe AX24A extends TouchNetix’s aXiom controller family with support for both capacitive touch and force sensing. According to the company, the device can manage up to 22 touch or force buttons, allowing designers to consolidate multiple inputs within a single controller. By integrating touch and force sensing within a single device, the AX24A may also help simplify system design and reduce component count, depending on the application architecture.
