ABSTRACT:
A switch assembly having an enlarged actuation surface and enhanced tactility is provided. The switch assembly may include a switch having a movable switch mounted within a recess. The actuation surface may be an elongate planar body loosely held within the recess and in engagement with the movable switch. A flexible protective cover may be provided over the recess, switch and actuation surface. The planar body increases the actuation area of the switch assembly without increasing the size, and accompanying cost, of the switch.
