Cirque Corporation develops capacitive touch solutions and is best known for the GlidePoint trackpad, a long-standing input interface for notebooks and other devices. Headquartered in Sandy, Utah, the company traces its origins to nearly 30 years of finger-based navigation and has broadened its scope to include notebook touchpads, VR accessories, secure point-of-sale touchscreens, and proximity sensing. Since 2003, Cirque has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of Alps Electric Co., Ltd., and functions as an Alps R&D center for capacitive sensing within the group. Cirque serves notebook manufacturers and other device developers seeking reliable, compact touch interfaces, offering both standardized and customized touchpad solutions. Its products address intuitive, finger-driven input across use cases such as traditional notebooks, VR gaming peripherals, and secure touch-enabled displays. A recent development is the March 2026 introduction of GlidePoint Circle Trackpad Development Kits, reflecting ongoing product evolution.
