Abstract:
Various implementations include audio devices and components of such devices. In some particular cases, a keypad for an audio device includes a base having an array of circumferentially separated slots. The keypad further includes a set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) each located in a corresponding one of the slots in the base, and a cover over the base and the set of LEDs. The cover has a set of lenses each corresponding with one of the LEDs and forming a space over the corresponding LED to diffuse light from the corresponding LED, such that when powered, the set of LEDs is configured to provide a continuous ring of light around the keypad.
