    Abstract: A multi-directional output device includes a printed circuit board on which first and second magnetic sensors are arranged, and a direction control unit arranged above the printed circuit board. The direction control unit includes first and second rotary driving bodies, first and second magnets, a shaft stick, a balance washer, and an annular spring, wherein the first and second rotary driving bodies are each a rotatable elongated arc-shaped structure. The first and second magnets are respectively fixed on one end of the first rotary driving body and one end of the second rotary driving body. The balance washer is disposed below the shaft stick and in contact with the first and second rotary driving bodies. The annular spring is arranged under the balance washer and in contact with the balance washer. The first and second magnetic sensors are arranged to correspond to the first and second magnets, respectively.

    Abstract: Assemblies include a chassis having a first side configured to receive a force-sensitive surface, a support structure including first electrode portions, and resilient mounting elements attached to the chassis and to the support structure. The mounting elements include second electrode portions positioned adjacent to the first electrode portions. Force-sensitive systems include force sensors including portions of a support structure and portions of a mounting element that are adapted to relatively move responsive to one or more applied forces, and a controller configured to identify the one or more applied forces by determining movement between the support structure and the mounting element. Methods include detecting changes in capacitances of respective capacitors formed by first electrode portions on a support structure and second electrode portions defined by mounting elements coupling a chassis to the support structure. Force values and force locations are determined from the detected changes in capacitances.
