Abstract: A cantilever force sensor with relatively lower On-Force is disclosed, which comprises a top stack, a bottom stack, and a spacer. The first spacer is configured between the top stack and the bottom stack and configured in a first side of the force sensor. A second side, opposite to the first side, of the top stack, is cantilevered from the bottom stack. When the force sensor is depressed from the top side, the second side of the top stack moves down using the first spacer as a fulcrum. Since the cantilevered side can be easily depressed down so that the On-Force for the force sensor is reduced and hence a force sensor with a relatively higher sensitivity is created.

Abstract: A hybrid digital analog key switch is designed to generate both a digital signal and an analog signal (DA) from a single key switch after the key is depressed. A pair of spring metal electrodes are electrically coupled to up and down movement of the key stem, and a force sensor is configured on a bottom side of the key module. Both a digital signal and an analog signal are generated when the key is depressed by a user.

Abstract: An embedded button without having gap is disclosed according to the present invention. The button area just bends to operate instead of moving back and forth to operate within a through hole so that no water, vapor, or dust shall enter into the device. One of the embodiment comprises an inner bump configured on an inner side of an outer frame; a pressure switch is configured under the inner bump and touches the bottom surface of the bump; and an activating electrical signal is triggered when the button area is pressed by user with a force exceeding a threshold force level from outside surface of the outer frame of the electronic device.
