1. An apparatus for providing input to a capacitive sensor array, the apparatus comprising:

  • a shaft;

    a pivot structure connected to one end of the shaft; and

    an actuator connected to the pivot structure, wherein the shaft is adapted to pivot about the pivot structure to enable the actuator to maintain contact with a surface as the shaft is moved through different orientations,wherein a size of the actuator is selected so as to enable detection by one or more sensors of the capacitive sensor array upon contact with the surface;

    wherein the one or more sensors comprises a force or angle sensor; and
