Claim 17:
18. An accessory, comprising:
a button comprising a sensor that generates a signal level according to a degree of displacement of the button; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that when executed by a processing system including a processor facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
associating a first user-identified actuation threshold with a first actuation threshold travel distance of a plurality of actuation threshold travel distances along a travel range of a button of a gaming device operable between a minimum displacement and a maximum displacement;
determining a venue state based on an image analysis of a present game environment in a video presentation of a gaming application;
determining an actuation threshold of a plurality of actuation thresholds for the venue state according to different commands for the venue state;
comparing an input from the sensor indicative of the degree of displacement of the button to the actuation threshold; and
providing an actuation signal to a software application being executed on a computing device of a gaming application, wherein the software application asserts an actuation state responsive to the input exceeding the actuation threshold.
