Abstract
A device having a processing unit with a processor and controls disposed on the device. The controls are operable for controlling the processing unit and operation of the device. The controls include at least a first button with capacitive sensing. The first button is operable to generate a first indication to a user when touched and further operable to interact with the processing unit to execute a function when depressed.
