1. A system with haptic effects, the system comprising:
- a first surface;
a second surface with a flexible arm portion, the flexible arm portion including a coupling portion;
a coupling received by the coupling portion that couples the flexible arm portion of the second surface to the first surface; and
a haptic effect generator coupled to the first surface, the haptic effect generator causing movement of the first surface relative to the second surface,wherein the flexible arm portion limits the movement of the first surface and elastically returns the first surface substantially to its original position relative to the second surface.

Abstract
A system with haptic effects includes a first surface, a second surface with a flexible arm portion, a coupling that couples the flexible arm portion to the first surface, and a haptic effect generator attached to the first surface. The flexible arm portion includes a coupling portion, and the coupling is received in the coupling portion. The haptic effect generator causes movement of the first surface relative to the second surface, and the flexible arm limits the movement of the first surface and elastically returns the first surface substantially to its original position relative to the second surface.
