Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H  Y | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An input device comprising:
one or more processors;
a depressible element including at least two switches including:
a first switch configured to generate a first signal when the depressible element is depressed by a threshold distance, the first switch being a contact-based switch; and
a second switch configured to generate a second signal indicating when the depressible element is depressed by the threshold distance and the second switch is in an active state, the second switch being a contactless switch,
wherein the one or more processors are communicatively coupled to the first switch and the second switch and are configured to:
receive the first signal from the first switch;
configure the second switch to change from an inactive state to an active state in response to receiving the first signal;
after the second switch is changed to the active state, receive the second signal from the second switch in the active state when the depressible element is depressed by the threshold distance; and
generate event data indicating that the depressible element is depressed by the threshold distance.
