Abstract

An input device that includes both a movement detector, such as mechanical switch, and positional indicator, such as touch pad touch screen, and/or touch sensing housing is disclosed. These two input devices can be used substantially simultaneously to provide a command to the device. In this manner, different commands can be associated with depressing a moveable member in different areas and a single moveable member can perform like several buttons.

1 . A device comprising:
 a moveable platform comprising a location detector configured to detect the location of an object relative to the platform and configured to move between a first position and at least a second position,   a flexible member centrally positioned relative to the platform and configured to bias the platform toward the first position, and   a movement detector configured to detect movement of the platform.
