Abstract
In an embodiment of the techniques presented herein, a control button comprises a body, a touch sensor proximate a first surface of the body, a force sensor, and a multi-sense controller connected to the touch sensor and the force sensor and configured to identify a touch event based on an analog response of the touch sensor and identify a force event based on an analog response of the force sensor.
Claims20
A control button, comprising:
- a body;
- a touch sensor proximate a first surface of the body;
- a force sensor;
- and
- a multi-sense controller connected to the touch sensor and the force sensor and configured to:
- identify a touch event based on an analog response of the touch sensor;
