An electronic device may include an input button assembly including an input member positioned along a side exterior surface of a housing component and defining a first input region proximate a first end of the input member and a second input region proximate a second end of the input member, the input member configured to receive a user input. The input button assembly may further include a beam structure at least partially within the enclosure and coupled to the input member, the beam structure configured to be deflected as a result of the user input, a first strain sensing element at a first location of the beam structure, and a second strain sensing element at a second location of the beam structure.

Handheld electronic device

Power adapters having a small-form factor, can deliver a large amount of power, can charge multiple electronic devices, and can allocate power between the multiple electronic devices in an efficient manner. One example can provide power adapters having small form factor that can be achieved by including space-efficient structures. This example can have an enclosure with first openings for power prongs, a second opening for a first connector receptacle, and a third opening for a second connector receptacle. An alignment adapter can be electromagnetically located between the power prongs and the first connector receptacle and between the power prongs and the second connector receptacle. The alignment adapter can include a compensating feature to allow each of the power prongs to be aligned with corresponding first openings, the first connector receptacle to be aligned with the second opening, and the second connector receptacle to be aligned with the third opening.
