Acrylic mirror for a capacitive touch foil?

Hi @cwhite92
If it works with the glass two way mirror it will work with the acrylic two way mirror. But from the description it goes behind the acrylic? So your finger would be touching the mirror coated surface of the acrylic? The acrylic tends to scratch rather easily and may not be the best long term solution. The glass coating is much more durable! Here are some clearance sizes,

But yes it would still work!

Hey Maria,
Yeah the touch foil from the Alibaba link gets sandwiched between the glass/acrylic and the LCD monitor.
I think I’m just going to wait for the touch foil to arrive and then try it with a sheet of acrylic.
Thank you for the link, but those prices are a bit too high for me! :)

@cwhite92 No problem Chris! Completely understandable. I would be purchasing the acrylic as well if I didn’t work here!

Any luck with the touch foil?

Hi, so what is your experience with touch foil?
-
@Fifin404 I can with high probablity tell you that he didn’t get it to work. Why? Because I havr used the dame type of touch foil he links and it Doesn’t work when placed beneath something that is metallic (which a mirror coat usually is).

@broberg Thanks for that info! I’ve been already tempted to give that a try in a future upgrade. :thinking_face:
