Abstract:
A system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, a button including a fixed force magnet coupled to a first housing assembly component serving as a top portion of the button, a variable force magnet coupled to a second housing assembly serving as a bottom portion of the button, and a spring coupled to the fixed force magnetic and the variable force magnet for repelling the fixed force magnet from the variable force magnet according to a spring constant of the spring. The variable force magnet emitting a magnetic field to counter the spring constant and thereby adjust a force required to depress the button. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Claim (Index 10):
An accessory, comprising:\n a button comprising a variable force magnet and a ferromagnetic material; a memory to store instructions; and a processor coupled to the memory and the button, wherein responsive to executing the instructions, the processor performs operations comprising:\n initiating a magnetic field at the variable force magnet, wherein the variable force magnet is at a first portion of a keypad, wherein the magnetic field interacts with the ferromagnetic material, and wherein the ferromagnetic material is at a second portion of the keypad to create a magnetic resistance to pressing of the keypad, wherein the variable force magnet at the first portion of the keypad and the ferromagnetic material the second portion of the keypad are along a first radial axis; \n detecting a first conductive material coupled to the first portion of the keypad contacting a second conductive material coupled to the second portion of the keypad, wherein the first conductive material and the second conductive material are along a second radial axis different than the first radial axis; and \n generating a keypad press in response to the first portion of the keypad contacting the second conductive material coupled to the second portion of the keypad.
