     An integrated switch assembly is described, the integrated switch assembly includes at least an actuator and a flexible membrane mechanically coupled to the actuator, the flexible membrane formed of a resilient, electrically conductive material. In the described embodiment, the flexible membrane is held at a first electrical potential. The integrated switch assembly also includes at least an electrical contact at a second electrical potential connected to an electrical circuit. The integrated switch assembly is engaged when the actuator applies a mechanical force to the flexible membrane causing the flexible membrane to deflect to a point of contact with the electrical contact causing the electrical potential of the electrical contact to change from the second potential to the first potential. The electrical circuit detects the change in potential of the electrical contact as a signal. 
     In one aspect, the first electrical potential is ground. 
     An integrated dome button is described.

The integrated dome button also includes an electrical contact aligned with a central portion of the dome button and the plunger such that when the plunger causes the dome button deflect, the dome button deflects to a point of contact with the electrical contact causing the electrical contact to connect to ground. The integrated dome button also includes a flexible connecter sized to fit within the opening in the lateral wall, the flexible connector electrically connecting the electrical contact with an external circuit. 
     A small form factor computing device is described. The small form factor computing device includes at least a housing arranged to enclose a plurality of operational circuits.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DESCRIBED EMBODIMENTS 
     In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the concepts underlying the described embodiments. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the described embodiments can be practiced without some or all of these specific details. In other instances, well known process steps have not been described in detail in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the underlying concepts. 
     Broadly speaking, the embodiments disclosed herein describe a mechanical input assembly well suited for use in small form factor consumer electronic products. In the described embodiments, the mechanical input assembly can take the form of a mechanical button assembly. The mechanical button assembly can include an exterior button feature, the exterior button feature having a plunger that impinges on a dome button formed of flexible and resilient material. The exterior button feature can be attached to and supported by an electrically grounded base support plate by way of at snaps each of which can be used to movably attach the exterior button feature to the base support plate. The base support plate can include an interior space associated with an anterior opening sized to accommodate the dome button. In the described embodiment, the dome button is electrically coupled to the base support plate. The base support plate can include an opening in a lateral wall of the base support plate that can provide access to the interior volume of the base support plate. A flexible connecter sized to fit within the opening in the lateral wall can include an electrical contact, the electrical contact being aligned with a central portion of the dome button such that when the dome button is depressed by the action of the plunger and makes contact with the electrical contact, the electrical contact is connected to ground thereby creating an electrical circuit. 
     Due in part to the design geometry, the mechanical input assembly promotes moisture and contamination isolation of the electrical elements. For example, the front face of the dome can be sealed with Kapton, and the flex can be sealed around the slot where it exits the base plate. Also, it is fairly straight forward to seal the hole in the housing with a face seal between the base plate and the housing. 
     These and other embodiments are discussed below with reference to  FIGS. 1-6 . However, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the detailed description given herein with respect to these figures is for explanatory purposes only and should not be construed as limiting. 
       FIG. 1  illustrates a specific embodiment of computing device  100 . More specifically,  FIG. 1  shows a bottom and side view of fully assembled computing device  100 . Computing device  100  can process data and more particularly media data such as audio, video, images, etc. By way of example, computing device  100  can generally correspond to a device that can perform as a music player, game player, video player, personal digital assistant (PDA), tablet computer and/or the like. Although not limited to handheld devices, with regards to computing device  100  being handheld, computing device  100  can be held in one hand by a user while being operated by the user&#39;s other hand (i.e., no reference surface such as a desktop is needed). For example, the user can hold computing device  100  in one hand and operate computing device  100  with the other hand by, for example, operating a volume switch, a hold switch, or by providing inputs to a touch sensitive surface such as a display or pad. 
     Computing device  100  can include housing  102  that can be formed of any number of materials such as plastic or metal which can be forged, molded, or otherwise processed into a desired shape. The shape of housing  102  can conform to that of a hand in order to provide a more comfortable feel to a user and to offer a positive contribution to a user&#39;s overall experience with computing device  100 . Housing  102  can be formed of any suitable material such as metal or plastic. Housing  102  can enclose and support internally various structural and electrical components (including integrated circuit chips and other circuitry) to provide computing operations for portable computing device. The integrated circuits can take the form of chips, chip sets, modules any of which can be surface mounted to a printed circuit board, or PCB, or other support structure. For example, a main logic board (MLB) can have integrated circuits mounted thereon that can include at least a microprocessor, semi-conductor (such as FLASH) memory, various support circuits and so on. 
     In order to maintain the overall look and feel of housing  102 , openings  104  and  106  can be formed to accommodate a mechanical button or switch used to provide control signals to operational components installed within housing  102 . The mechanical button or switch can power switches, volume control switches, user input devices and the like. For example, a power switch can be configured to turn the computing device  100  on and off, whereas a volume switch can be used to modify the volume level produced by computing device  100 . Openings  104  and  106  can have a size and shape to conform to the overall shape of housing  102 . Therefore, any mechanical input assembly used in the assembly of computing device  100  can also conform to both the shape and size of openings  104  and  106  and housing  102 . 
     Accordingly,  FIGS. 2A and 2B  shows a perspective side view and an isolated side view, respectively, of button assembly  200  in accordance with the described embodiments. As shown, button assembly  200  can be accommodated by either of openings  104  and  106 . It should be noted that the choice of button technology affects the button&#39;s responses (i.e., the positive feedback that a button has been depressed) and travel (i.e., the distance needed to push the button to engage a switch). One of the most common button types is a “dome-button”, which works as described below. When a button is depressed, the button pushes down on a flexible dome sitting beneath the external button portion. The flexible dome collapses, which gives tactile feedback to the user depressing the button as well as causing a conductive contact on the underside of the dome to touch a pair of conductive lines on the printed circuit board (PCB) below the dome, thereby closing the switch. 
     Button assembly  200  can be placed within either opening  104  or  106 . Button assembly  200  can include exterior button feature  202  having exterior surface  204  that can, in some embodiments, extend above an exterior surface  206  of housing  102  and be shaped to accept a touch (also referred to as a press event) from a user&#39;s finger. Button feature  202  can be formed of material that can be electrically insulating and have an aesthetic look and feel appropriate for device  100 . Although button feature  202  is typically formed of plastic or other related material, any appropriate material can be used without loss of generality. Button feature  202  can include plunger  208  that can be integrally formed with button feature  202  and be shaped to extend inwardly from an interior portion of button feature  202 . Button feature  202  can also include attachment features that in the embodiment shown can take the form of snaps  210  used to attach button feature  202  to base support plate  212 . In the described embodiment, base support plate  212  can be attached to an interior surface of housing  102  by way of, for example, attachment features such as screws or electrically conductive adhesives such as PSA as well as being soldered on or welded in place. In so doing, in addition to providing an electrical path between button assembly  200  and housing  102 , base support plate  212  can provide structural support and stability for button assembly  200  especially when a user is pressing on button feature  202 . Base support plate  212  is formed of an electrically conductive material such as stainless steel or other metals. 
     Referring to  FIG. 2B , plunger  208  can be in contact with an upper portion of dome button  214  by way of protective layer  215  that can be formed of, for example, insulating material such as Kapton™. Dome button  214 , however, can be formed of electrically conductive material and be connected with and supported by base support plate  212 . In this way, both base support plate  212  and dome button  214  can be held at an electrical ground state when base support plate  212  is electrically connected to chassis ground formed by housing  102  or other suitable ground plane. Also shown in  FIG. 3 , flex connector  216  can be accommodated within opening  218  (shown in  FIG. 3  with protective sealer  220  surrounding flex  216 ) within lateral wall  222  of base support plate  212 . In the embodiment shown, base support plate  212  can include recess  224  used to accommodate electrical contact  226  located at a distal end of flex connector  216  aligned with dome button  214 . Contact  226  can be located approximately in a central portion of recess  224  to be aligned with a central portion of dome button  214 . Using this arrangement, dome button  214  can respond to pressure applied by plunger  208  by compressing inwardly in such as way that electrically grounded dome button  214  comes in direct and full conductive contact with electrical contact  226  within the recess  224 . In this way, contact  226  can be electrically connected to ground by way of base support plate  212  through dome button  214  thereby completing a circuit associated with dome button  200  and flex  216 . 
     Base support plate  212  can be formed of electrically conductive material such as metal along the lines of stainless steel. Base support plate  212  can include hole  228  used to accommodate fastener  230  used to attach base support plate  212  to housing  102 . Since housing  102  provides chassis ground, base support plate  212  remains in an electrically grounded state. Holes  232  can be used to anchor snaps  210  to base support plate  212  thereby securing button feature  202  to housing  102 . Dome button  214  can be accommodated by opening  234  having centrally located inner lip  236  that can be used to attach dome button  214  to base support plate  212  using any suitable electrically conductive adhesive. In addition to providing physical support to dome button  214 , inner lip  236  can provide an electrically conductive path between dome button  214  and base support plate  212  thereby maintaining dome button  214  at ground. Region  238  can be formed on a surface of base support plate  212  facing dome button  214  having a size and shape to accommodate an insulator/sealer layer  215  formed of material along the lines of Kapton™. In this way, layer  215  can be used to provide a moisture barrier that can prevent water or other environmental contaminants from entering recess  224  or dome button  214 . 
       FIG. 4  shows an exploded view  400  of mechanical button assembly  200  in accordance with the described embodiments. In particular exploded view  400  provides an illustrative representation of a possible alignment of various components of button assembly  200 , dome button  214 , and flex connector  216 . As discussed above, button assembly  200  can include button feature  202  having snaps  210  used to secure button assembly  200  to base support plate  212 . Exploded view  400  also shows the juxtaposition of plunger  208  and protective layer  215  and dome button  214 . By placing protective layer  215  formed of sealant/insulator material (such as Kapton™), protective layer  215  when placed between plunger  208  and dome button  214  can prevent contamination such as water from entering recess  224  or dome button  214  that can result in potential shorting. As further shown in  Fig. 4 , flex contact  226  can be centrally aligned ith dome button  214 . When dome button  214  is fully compressed, an optimal electrical connection can be made between dome button  214  (held at ground by support plate  212 ) and contact  226 , thereby altering electrical potential of flex connector  21   6  to first electrical potential  213 . In this way, a good electrical ground connection can assure optimal response for those circuits coupled to flex connector  216  responsive to actuation by button assembly  200 . By grounding flex connector  216  electrical potential of flex connector  216  can be changed from second electrical potential  239  to first electrical potential  213 . Second electrical potential  239  can be established such that it is distinguishable from the first electrical potential  213 . The electrical potential in flex connector  216  can be measured by external circuit  240 , which is in electrical contact with flex connector  216 . When the external signal  240  detects a change in electrical potential this acts as signal  244  prompting external circuit  240  to take an appropriate action based upon signal  244 . 
       FIG. 5  shows a flowchart detailing process  500  in accordance with the described embodiments. Process  500  can begin at  502  by providing a base support layer, the base support layer being formed of an electrically conductive material such as stainless steel. The base support layer having a central portion having a recess having a size and shape sufficient to accommodate en electrical contact coupled with a flexible connector. The base support layer further having an inner lip formed around an upper edge of the central portion. Next at  504 , a dome button is attached to the base support plate at the inner lip. In the described embodiment, the dome button is attached to the base support plate using an electrically conductive adhesive. In this way, the dome button is held at ground. Next at  506 , the electrical contact is inserted within the recess. In the describe embodiment, the flexible connector can be placed within an opening in a lateral wall of the base support plate. Next at  508  a layer of barrier material is placed over the recess in order to isolate the recess from external contaminants such as water. Next at  510 , an external button feature is attached to the base support layer, the external button feature having a plunger that impinges onto the dome button when pressure is applied to the external button feature. In this way, when sufficient pressure is applied, the dome button makes contact with the electrical contact. The electrical contact is then set to ground. 
       FIG. 6  shows flowchart detailing a method  600  of sending a signal to a circuit using an integrated button assembly in accordance with the described embodiments. The in integrated button assembly can include at least an actuator, a flexible membrane at a first electrical potential is mechanically coupled to the actuator, the flexible membrane being formed of a resilient, electrically conductive material, and an electrical contact connected to the circuit, the electrical contact being at a second electrical potential. The method can be carried by performing at least the following. First, at  602 , a mechanical force is applied to the actuator and at  604 ; the actuator transfers the applied mechanical force to the flexible membrane. At  606 , the mechanical force applied at the flexible membrane causes the flexible membrane to deflect to a point of contact with the electrical contact that changes an electrical potential of the electrical contact from the second potential to the first potential at  608 . The circuit then interprets the change in potential of the electrical contact as the signal. 
     The many features and advantages of the present invention are apparent from the written description and, thus, it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such features and advantages of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, the invention should not be limited to the exact construction and operation as illustrated and described.
