Claim 6:
7. The system of claim 6:
wherein the substrate comprises a bottom layer comprising a set of sense electrodes arranged proximal the set of spacer locations;
wherein the baseplate comprises a set of drive electrodes:
arranged across the top surface of the baseplate;
arranged in alignment with the set of sense electrodes at the bottom layer of the substrate; and
configured to capacitively couple the set of sense electrodes to form a set of capacitive force sensors and effect capacitance values of the set of sense electrodes responsive to displacement of the substrate toward the baseplate; and

wherein the controller is configured to, at the first time, in response to detecting the first change in electrical value at the first multi-layer inductor based on the first set of electrical values:
reads a second set of electrical values from the set of capacitive force sensors;
detect presence of a first fingerprint input on the cover layer;
interpret a first force magnitude for the first fingerprint input based on the second set of electrical values; and
in response to the first force magnitude exceeding a target force magnitude, register the first fingerprint input applied to the cover layer.
