Reuse USB Touchpad from an Old laptop | SYNAPTICS TM1679 | 

The company that makes this trackpad (Synaptic) actually use the same pinout. The one in the video may work, but the most common pinout is: T22 - VCC (+5v) [Red] T23 - GND (-5v) [Black] T10 - CLK (D+) [Green] T11 - DATA (D-) [White] In the video, it works out fine, but some of these pads don't always line up the same with every Synaptic track pads. So it's best to use the pinout I gave above. Also, PS2 and USB adaptors are l passive and just basically short certain wires. So you can actually wire this up directly to a USB and it should work.

I'm a bit new to this but I must say, I'm flabbergasted at how simple the connection to the touchpad is!

Can I just wire up a ps/2 plug directly without a converter? My pc has that input.

Os adaptadores PS2 e USB são passivos e basicamente curvam certos fios. Então você pode conectar isso diretamente a um USB e ele deve funcionar. A empresa que fabrica esse trackpad (Synaptic) realmente usa a mesma pinagem. O do vídeo pode funcionar, mas a pinagem mais comum é: T22 - VCC (+ 5v) [vermelho] T23 - GND (-5v) [preto] T10 - CLK (D +) [Verde] T11 - DADOS (D-) [Branco]

Hey man, thanks for the vid! Question: must the adapter be that specific one? And why would you jump the ps/2 female plug by soldering directly onto the pcb, instead of keeping the/soldering a ps/2 male plug to the end of the cable?

Good one, will this work for MacBook Pro track pad as well?

I have all these old laptops and finding this is like awesome. Random fun stuff to do with computers. Heck yeah

can you strait up connect it to usb cable?

Is this really working? For desktop PC?

Wait, touchpads use the old ps2 standard? Wouldn't have thought about that... neat!

I finally mada it works, I used a TM1800, the pointer moves ok but left and right buttons dont work, any suggestion?

this is awesome man 😋😁

Thank you. Is it work with tm1680?

Is it possible with ds4 controller trackpad?

does it work on multi touch touch pads too? also, does the touch penetrates a 10 mm glass?

@LoopLinks Is it ok if I usb directly instead of ps/2?

How would an 8-pin work? Do you or anyone you know have a video where a trackpad has a cable with 8 pins wiring it up so that it can be used with USB?

Do you think you could help me or make a video on how to convert a laptop keyboard over to usb protocol?

Could you also put video for keyboard from laptop

Hey man, i have just scraped a TM1382, any idea where i could find some schematics? I tried google, but didn't get a lot of info about it.

This is great! Perfect for an idea I have. Huge thanks for making this video. 👍🏻

Excellent! Thank you very much! Is it necessary to configure it or download a driver to make it work on the PC? how can it be done ?. Thank you very much and greetings!

Hello, dude, nice video. Do you know if all those "T" outputs numbers that you used are the same for all touchpads? Because I'm trying to do the same with a Synaptics 920-000610 and it just doesn't work.

Why not to plug directly into the usb connector? Because of the driver?

Thanks

can your DIY touchpad use gesture, multifinger functions?

Very cool! But for me it recognized as a barcode reader... what do I do?

there is no propper trackpad avaiable and i want one for my desktop.. so now i build one myself!!!
