Hi all,

We are investigating the use of external signature pads together with the standard Thinkwise signature control (UI/domain signature field).

Our use-case:

  • Retail/store environment

  • Browser-based usage

  • User clicks the signature field in Thinkwise

  • Customer signs on an external signature pad

  • Signature should be captured by the existing Thinkwise signature control

We are specifically trying to avoid:

  • Heavy custom integrations

  • Browser plugins/extensions where possible

  • Custom Thinkwise components

Questions:

  1. Has anyone successfully tested external signature pads with the standard Thinkwise signature control?

  2. Which devices/models worked well?

  3. Did the device work as standard HID/mouse/stylus input, or did it require SDK/software integration?

Thanks!
