Consumer electronic device designs need to be
attractive and reliable to be successful. However, most
devices still rely on mechanical buttons which often
employ moving parts, gaskets, and cutouts leading to
long term reliability issues, increased costs, and
inferior immunity to environmental factors. Inductive
touch buttons on the other hand enable aesthetically
attractive, gasket less, and waterproof mechanical
designs. These buttons are physically robust, can be
used with gloves, and respond directly to the amount
of force being applied on the conductive surface.
