First Claim
1. A switch assembly comprising:
- a mount;
an elongate member associated with said mount; and
a fulcrum, slidably coupled to said elongate member, said fulcrum being movable along a length of said elongate member such that positions of said fulcrum along said length varies a force on said elongate member to actuate a switch within said mount.

Abstract
A switch assembly which has a mount (12), an elongate member (14), a switch (16) and a fulcrum (18). Pressing on elongate member (14) provides a force to actuate switch (16). Elongate member (14) is resilient or, alternatively, is resiliently biased to return to an unactuated position. Fulcrum (18) is movable along a length of elongate member (14). Positions of fulcrum (18) along the length enables variation of the force to actuate switch (16). As a result of this variation, different tactile feel of the switch assembly can be provided depending on position of fulcrum (18) relative to switch (16). Fulcrum (18) can also be positioned along elongate member (14) to provide a locking position that prevents switch (16) from being actuated.
