Consumer electronic device with elastomeric mat

An article of manufacture comprising:

• an elastomeric mat including:
• an output conductive path therethrough, the output conductive path electrically coupling a circuit carrier output contact to an output device contact;
• a power supply conductive path electrically coupling a circuit carrier power contact to a power supply contact;
• an output device receiving surface comprising the output device contact and structured to receive an output device;
• an input transfer path positioned at a circuit carrier input contact, the input transfer path structured to transfer an input signal from an input device to the circuit carrier input contact by one of mechanical transfer and electrical transfer;
• a first printed circuit board (PCB) and a second PCB, the first and second PCBs including the circuit carrier input contact, the circuit carrier output contact, and the circuit carrier power contact;
• the elastomeric mat positioned within a housing;
• and
• the output device engaged with the output device receiving surface and electrically connected to the output device contact.
