The force sensing dome switch is configured to simultaneously, or nearly simultaneously, close or open two separate circuits. For one of these circuits, the force sensing dome switch acts as a variable resistor whose value is controlled by applied force. Each force sensing dome switch is disposed upon a printed circuit board (PCB) comprising two separate circuits. An example force sensing dome switch comprises: a conductive dome in conductive contact with a first trace of a first circuit, the conductive dome is configured to make conductive contact with a second trace of the first circuit when pressed down; and a force-sensing resistor element positioned between the PCB and the conductive dome, the force-sensing resistor element overlays a pair of traces of a second circuit and is configured to conductively connect the pair of traces when pressed against the PCB by the conductive dome. The force-sensing resistor element is a layer of material whose resistance changes when force is applied.
