The company said that the funding benefitted from the growing commercial traction of its user interface improvements to PCs and laptops.

Peratech, an innovator of force and haptic-based user interfaces, said that it would be using the funds to accelerate profitable revenue growth in proven products using its QTC based force sensing, leading haptic feedback, and Hydra user-interface software.

Peratech’s proprietary technology combines analogue-like force sensing, consistently clear haptic feedback, and intuitive interface-control software to make PC products and the gaming and creative software that runs on them fundamentally easier, more engaging, and more accessible to use.

Hydra user interface software adds AI-based user interface intelligence for higher scores, better productivity, and more creativity that a wide range of users can enjoy – whether a novice or professional. 

According to Peratech CEO Jon Stark, “Our force sensing and haptic feedback technologies not only make industry-leading haptic trackpads and force-enabled keyboards, but our control firmware and software does something that no other user interface product can: it makes the user interfaces intelligent.

“We use that intelligence to make PCs fundamentally easier, more engaging and more fun to use for every user type. This financial injection is a major endorsement to the success we’ve had in making better user experience platforms on Notebooks PCs and Peripherals and enables us to capitalise on our commercial wins and scale up for market share.”

Peratech has secured commercial launches with key leaders in the electronics industry around keyboards, trackpads, and other controllers in the PC and gaming space. The company also sells automotive interfaces that eliminate driver distractions and improve customer satisfaction through a safer, more engaging in-cabin environment.
