Claim Text:
1. A dome for a dome-switch, the dome comprising: a conductive protrusion configured for performing a switching function of the dome switch; and a plurality of conductive traces at least partially embedded within a malleable material, wherein a first end of each of the plurality of conductive traces is exposed at a first surface of the material, and wherein a second end of each of the plurality of conductive traces is exposed at a second surface of the material, the plurality of conductive traces comprising a first set of conductive traces and a second set of conductive traces configured for routing a set of drive lines and a set of sense lines for a capacitive touch sensor, wherein the first set of conductive traces is coupled to the set of drive lines of the capacitive touch sensor, and wherein the second set of conductive traces is coupled to the set of sense lines of the capacitive touch sensor.
