Directionally sensitive switch

Mesa, Ariz .—Magnamouse replaces bulky, complex, and more costly switches used in computer cursor controls, automotive mirror and seat operations, or other devices requiring multidirectional switches. Magnamouse works via a disk-shaped actuator held by magnetic attraction. It is actuated by pushing the rim or a manufacturer-specified custom key cap, which then closes a contact. Electrodes are arranged to produce different outputs when contacted in different locations. It can also be pressure sensitive, allowing for acceleration of activity. www.duraswitch.com
