    Abstract: An input interface for an electronic device is disclosed. The input interface includes a touch-sensitive switch supported by a board member. The input interface further includes a push-sensitive switch supported by a circuit board. The board member and circuit board will typically be generally planar and included within substantially parallel layers of the input interface.
