10. A handheld electronic device comprising:
-
a body; at least one button disposed on an outer surface of said body, wherein said body comprises at least one portion configured to be deformed by the application of a squeezing force by a user'"'"'s hand whereby the deformable portion is moved between a first un-deformed position and a second deformed position to mould the body to a user'"'"'s hand thereby improving the user'"'"'s grip when operating the at least one button when holding the apparatus in the user'"'"'s hand; and a flexible keymat configured to deform by the application of a squeezing force by a user'"'"'s hand whereby the keymat is moved between a first un-deformed keymat position and a second deformed keymat position, wherein the keymat comprises a first member having a hole therein for each of the at least one button, each of the at least one button comprising a disc portion and a pin portion, the pin portion extending from the disc portion though the hole whereby the disc is moveable on the keymat with the movement being limited by the size and shape of the hole, said movement being inhibited at a maximum displacement of the disc by the pin portion of the disc contacting an edge of the hole. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13)
