Abstract:
Various implementations include a switch assembly that includes a housing and at least two printed circuit boards (PCBs) that are disposed within the housing and are axially arranged relative to each other. One or more force sensors are disposed on one of the PCBs, and, in some implementations, the one or more force sensors receive force input received by a touch overlay plate. Signals from the force sensors are processed to determine a magnitude, acceleration, and/or location of the force input, and a haptic feedback response is received by the touch overlay plate. The haptic feedback response is based on the force magnitude, acceleration, and/or location of input, according to some implementations. Axially arranging the PCBs reduces the footprint of the switch assembly and allows for the inclusion of more electrical components in the switch assembly, according to some implementations.

Claim (Index 22):
The switch assembly of  claim 19 , wherein the light guide comprises at least two posts that extend axially from the second surface of the light guide, the light guide posts being disposed radially inwardly of the inner radial wall of the annular wall of the annular frame, and one or more springs comprise one or more leaf springs, each leaf spring having a central portion and two leg portions, the central portion being disposed between the annular wall of the annular frame and the second surface of the light guide, and the leg portions extending circumferentially from and radially inwardly from the central portion and engaging distal ends of respective light guide posts, wherein a first plane that includes the central portion of each leaf spring is disposed between a second plane that includes the distal ends of the respective light guide posts and a third plane that includes the second surface of the light guide.
