Claim 8:
9. An electronic device, comprising:
a housing;
a keyboard attached to the housing;
a set of sensors operable to determine a location of a touch on the housing and an amount of force of the touch;
an array of actuators coupled to a surface of the housing; and
a processing unit operable to:
identify a subset of one or more actuators of the array of actuators, the subset of one or more actuators proximate to the location of the touch; and
produce an audio output using at least a first actuator of the subset of one or more actuators when the amount of force does not exceed a threshold, or produce the audio output without using an actuator of the subset of one or more actuators and using at least a second actuator of the array of actuators when the amount of force exceeds the threshold.
