Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide switch cells that use a non-electrical tactile feedback pad to adjust the tactile feel of the included switches. As a non-limiting advantage, separating the tactile feedback pad from the electrical switching operation allows the electrical contacts to be configured for high-current applications while relying on the tactile feedback pad to define or “tune” the tactile feel of the switch cell. Moreover, the same switch cell design may be used to meet a variety of tactile feel requirements, simply by installing different tactile feedback pads. That is, the same switch cell can be reconfigured to have a different tactile response curve simply by changing out the tactile feedback pad(s) used in the switch cell, without affecting the electrical characteristics of the switch cell.
