Abstract
A touch sensor may include a substrate, a drive electrode on the substrate, a sense electrode on the substrate, and a deformable snap member disposed over the drive electrode and the sense electrode. The deformable snap member may include a deflectable metal material. When the metal material flexes from a resting position, a change in capacitance between the drive electrode and the sense electrode may be detectable.
