A camera control key assembly including a metal housing with a pocket containing a sensor window, a metal strip abutting a side of the sensor window, a spacer positioned to abut the metal strip, at least one capacitive touch sensor abutting the spacer, and a control key set into the pocket of the housing and contacting a first side of the sensor window. Preferably, the plastic sensor window is insert molded into the metal housing making the assembly inherently watertight. The assembly comprises at least one force concentrator on the control key to act upon the sensor window which in turn allows the capacitive touch sensor to register a multitude of different user inputs, including pressure, varied pressure, duration, taps, slides and swipes.
