ABSTRACT:
A switch assembly which has a mount (12), an elongate member (14), a switch (16) and a fulcrum (18). Pressing on elongate member (14) provides a force to actuate switch (16). Elongate member (14) is resilient or, alternatively, is resiliently biased to return to an unactuated position. Fulcrum (18) is movable along a length of elongate member (14). Positions of fulcrum (18) along the length enables variation of the force to actuate switch (16). As a result of this variation, different tactile feel of the switch assembly can be provided depending on position of fulcrum (18) relative to switch (16). Fulcrum (18) can also be positioned along elongate member (14) to provide a locking position that prevents switch (16) from being actuated.
