1. A method, comprising:
- detecting, by a system comprising a processor, a first depression range of a button, wherein the button comprises an electro-mechanical sensor for detecting the first depression range;
comparing, by the system, the first depression range to a first actuation threshold, wherein the first actuation threshold is generated from user input; and
asserting, by the system, a first actuation state when the first depression range is at or exceeds the first actuation threshold.
