Embodiment Construction

[0040] review

[0041] The input device may be configured to support book form factors, such as about three and a half millimeters and smaller. However, components that may be used to support the functionality of the input device may have a height that conflicts with the form factor of the pad. Thus, a designer using conventional techniques may be forced to decide whether to include the part but add substantial thickness to the input device or forego the use of the part.

[0042]Describes input device layers and nesting techniques. In one or more implementations, the layers of the input device are configured to nest surface mount hardware components. The input device may, for example, be configured as a pressure sensitive keyboard including surface mount hardware elements to support the functionality of the device. The surface mount hardware components may include a processor (e.g., for processing signals from keys into HID-compatible inputs), sensors (e.g., accelerometer...
