Communication console

A communication console comprising:

• a moveable plunger including a body and an arm, the arm connected to and extending away from the body;
• a first element physically coupled to the arm, the first element having a top point on a top surface of the first element, a bottom point on an opposing bottom surface of the first element, and an axis of displacement extending between the top point and the bottom point, the first element configured to move with the arm along the axis of displacement;
• a second element physically detached from the arm and positioned adjacent to the axis of displacement, wherein one of the first element or the second element is a sensing element and another is a detectable element, the sensing element configured to sense a spatial position of the detectable element and output an indication of a position of the plunger based on the spatial position of the detectable element;
• and
• a housing that encases the first element, the second element, and the arm, the housing including an opening, the body of the plunger positioned in the opening and configured to move through the opening of the housing, the movement of the body through the opening resulting in movement of the first element along the axis of displacement.
