Abstract

An electronic device that includes a touch-sensing device having a plurality of touch sensors arranged in a pattern configured to detect user input at a plurality of angular orientations is disclosed. The user input may be a horizontal swipe across the touch-sensing device or a vertical swipe down a vertical centerline of the touch-sensing device. The plurality of touch sensors includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a third sensor, a fourth sensor, and a fifth sensor. The touch sensors are configured to detect, via at least three sensors, the user input for one or more angular orientations of a wireless earbud between 85 degrees forward of an initial vertical position of the vertical centerline and 85 degrees rearward of the initial vertical position of the vertical centerline.
