Abstract
In an example, an isometric input device configured to control a user interface indicator of an electronic device includes a plurality of sensor electrodes, a control member, a conductive support substrate, and a compliant member. The plurality of sensor electrodes is disposed on a sensor substrate. The control member is mechanically coupled to the sensor substrate over at least a portion of the plurality of sensor electrodes. The compliant member is disposed between the sensor substrate and the conductive support substrate. The compliant member defines a gap between the sensor substrate and the conductive support substrate.
