Abstract
One variation of a system for a touch sensor includes: a substrate; a baseplate; and spacer elements. The substrate defines support locations. The baseplate spans a bottom layer of the substrate and defines spring elements: aligned to the support locations of the substrate; and configured to yield to displacement of the substrate toward the baseplate responsive to forces applied over the substrate. The spacer elements: are interposed between the support locations and the spring elements; and are configured to compress responsive to forces applied over the substrate. Each spacer element, in the spacer elements, includes: an elastomer element; a first adhesive layer; and a second adhesive layer. The first adhesive layer: is arranged over the elastomer element; and coupled to the bottom substrate layer at a support location. The second adhesive layer: is arranged below the elastomer element; and coupled to the baseplate at a spring element.
