Abstract:
An assembly includes an electronic device having depressible controls and a navigation button which is positioned over the electronic device. The navigation button has a central portion, and directional lobes extending from the central portion. The navigation button initially resides in a non-pivoting orientation in which none of the depressible controls are actuated. The navigation button (i) pivots about a first axis in response to depression of a first directional lobe to actuate a first depressible control of the electronic device without actuating a second depressible control of the electronic device, and (ii) pivots about a second axis in response to depression of a second directional lobe to actuate the second depressible control of the electronic device without actuating the first depressible control of the electronic device. Each of the first axis and the second axis is offset from a midpoint of the navigation button.
