A system may comprise a printed circuit board (PCB) including a top surface, and a bracket including a top surface configured to receive and couple to a key switch and a bottom surface including at least two protrusions that extend normal to the bottom surface of the bracket. The bracket can be configured to mount to the PCB such that the bottom surface of the bracket is coupled to the top surface of the PCB, and the at least two protrusions may each include conductive leads that couple to the top surface of the PCB. The bracket is configured to only cover a portion of a bottom surface of the key switch when coupled to the key switch. An LED can be mounted to the top surface of the PCB, laterally adjacent to the bracket, and under the key switch at a location not covered by the bracket.

A waterproof keypad module, comprising a waterproof film (7) which is in a pre-tightened state and which isolates a touch component from a bottom casing (4); an edge of said waterproof film being fixed at the position where a front casing (1) and the bottom casing (4) connect, and said touch component being supported on said waterproof film (7). The edge of said waterproof film is fixed at the position where the front casing (1) and bottom casing (4) connect, wherein the touch component may be completely isolated from the bottom casing (4) by means of the waterproof film (7); thus, even if a gap exists between the touch component and casing, water cannot pass through the waterproof film (7) and enter the bottom casing (4), thus achieving waterproofing of the keypad module.

A control device includes a button assembly having one or more buttons and a button carrier that includes a plurality of resilient, independently deflectable spring arms. The control device may be configured as a wall-mounted keypad to control a load control device, or as a thermostat to control a temperature regulation appliance. The button carrier may be configured to prevent interference between the buttons during operation of the control device. The button assembly may be captured between a faceplate of the control device and a housing that is attached to a rear side of the faceplate. The control device may include one or more button retainers that are attached to the buttons and that are configured to align respective outer surfaces of the buttons relative to each other, and relative to the faceplate of the control device, when the buttons are in respective rest positions.

A replaceable key structure includes a key holder and a circuit board. The key holder is disposed above a circuit board. The key holder is formed with a mounting slot for selectively receiving a first key module or a second key module therein. A magnetic sensor and a contact connector are disposed on the circuit board positionally corresponding to the mounting slot of the key holder. The first key module has a shaft, and a magnetic element disposed on the bottom of the shaft. The magnetic sensor can output an analog signal when the magnetic element approaches. The second key module has a trigger switch which has two electrical terminals disposed on the bottom surface of the second key module. When the second key module is installed in the mounting slot, the electrical terminals can be electrically connected to the contact connector.

The invention relates to a system (10) for controlling industrial or all-terrain vehicle functions, which comprises data processing means (20), such as a computer, and a plurality of devices (10a-10g) for controlling industrial or all-terrain vehicle functions. The control devices are arranged in a network with the data processing means (20) according to a master-slave model, and each control device comprises at least one first control member (3a) sensitive to contact and connectors (2), a computing circuit (1) with at least one data processing unit (MC), a memory in which is stored a unique identifier associated with said control device, and at least one first control state visualization member (4a). The data processing means (20) are configured to transmit to each identified control device (10a-10g) a request to obtain a feedback of information from the associated processing unit.

Systems and methods for providing a replacement touchless button for initiating an action upon proximate detection of a solid object near the top of the touchless button. The action is triggered by determining that the solid object is within a predetermined distance from the top of the button. The action is accomplished by the closing of an electrical circuit within the touchless button, the button being configured to replace a push button without modification of a panel housing the push button. The button contains and supports, within its structure, all electrical and physical components needed to operate a device that can be triggered via a push button. The button serves as a direct replacement for a push button with no modifications to existing systems or controls regularly triggered by a push button.
