Touch Input in a Circuit Board

An apparatus comprising:

• a circuit board;
• and
• a touch input sensor including:
• a touch interaction region formed from a portion of the circuit board that is at least partially cut from a main body of the circuit board such that the touch interaction region is pivotable on a hinge region of the circuit board;
• and
• a switch that is positioned relative to the touch interaction region such that the switch is actuatable to generate a click input event in response to detecting a movement of the touch interaction region about the hinge region.

A touch input device comprising:

• a touch interaction region that is at least one of partially cut or etched from a portion of a circuit board such that the touch interaction region is moveable with respect to an adjacent portion of the circuit board;
• a hinge region that corresponds to a portion of the circuit board about which the touch interaction region is pivotable;
• and
• a switch that is positioned relative to the touch interaction region such that the switch is actuatable to generate a click input event in response to detecting a movement of the touch interaction region about the hinge region.
