More Information
Summary:The present disclosure describes pressure sensitive keys with a single-sided direct conduction sensor that includes a sensor substrate, a conductive layer formed on an underside of a contact layer, and a force sensing layer formed on the underside of the contact layer substantially surrounding the conductive layer. The contact layer, the conductive layer, and the force sensing layer are configured to cooperatively flex in response to an application of pressure to contact the sensor substrate.
