Abstract

See full text

An input device includes a capacitive sensing device including a plurality of sensor electrodes disposed on a substrate, the capacitive sensing device having an edge region, a support structure, and a separation device coupled to the support structure and the capacitive sensing device. The separation device is configured to allow non-uniform displacement of the capacitive sensing device and activation of a button in response to a force applied to the capacitive sensing device by a user. The separation device includes a first flexure mechanism coupled to a first portion of the edge region of the capacitive sensing device, and a second flexure mechanism coupled to a second portion of the edge region of the capacitive sensing device, the first portion being remote from the second portion.
