Abstract: This document relates to a portable electronic device (100). The portable electronic device comprising a housing member (203) defining: a side surface of the portable electronic device (100); and a hole surface defining a hole (215) extending through the housing member (203). The portable electronic device comprising a button member (120) positioned along the side surface and defining: a chassis portion (205); and a hollow post (222) extending into the hole (215). The portable electronic device comprising a first waterproof seal (218) defined between the hollow post (222) and the hole surface; a capacitive sensing component (204) coupled to the chassis portion (205); a flexible circuit element (212) extending through the hollow post (222) and conductively coupling the capacitive sensing component (204) to at least one of a processor, a circuit board, or a conductive connector within the portable electronic device (100); and a second waterproof seal (208) defined within the hollow post (222).
