Abstract: An audiovisual controller adapted to transmit control signals to a computing device for controlling microphone and video functions of an audiovisual application executed on the computing device. The audiovisual controller has a housing with a first portion having a first switch and a second portion having a second switch. The first switch and the second switch are each associated with either the microphone or video function of the audiovisual application. The first portion and the first switch are enlarged compared to the second portion and the second switch, and provide visual and tactile differentiation to prevent a user from misidentifying or unintentionally activating the incorrect switch. Each switch further has an illumination element which emits light in accordance with a plurality of illumination states, and activation of the switch causes the illumination element to alternate between the illumination states.
