Abstract
An apparatus may include: a stationary module; a movable module having an outer surface and a substrate; a tactile switch secured on a first side of the substrate; a light indicator secured on a second side of the substrate, the first side and the second side being opposing sides of the substrate, etc. The movable module is configured to generate a spatial displacement relative to the stationary module along a spatial direction in response to a physical force exerted on the outer surface along the spatial direction.
Claims17
An apparatus comprising:
- a stationary module;
- a movable module having an outer surface and a substrate;
- the movable module being configured to generate a spatial displacement relative to the stationary module along a spatial direction in response to a physical force exerted on the outer surface along the spatial direction, wherein the spatial direction along which the spatial displacement is made is a downward direction perpendicular to the outer surface of the movable module;
- a tactile switch secured on a first side of the substrate;
- a light indicator secured on a second side of the substrate, the first side and the second side being opposing sides of the substrate;
- and
- a protrusion provided on a surface portion of the stationary module opposing the tactile switch, the protrusion being configured to contact the tactile switch so as to cause it to be depressed off-axis.
