1. A pressure operating apparatus to operate an operation object, the pressure operating apparatus comprising:

  • a plurality of substrates arranged in a stacked spaced apart relationship each with respect to each other, said plurality of substrates including a first substrate and at least one second substrate;

    a plurality of first switching elements disposed on the first substrate;

    a plurality of second switching elements disposed on the second substrate;

    a first conductive element displaced by a first predetermined distance, from said first switching elements;

    at least one second conductive element displaced by a second distance from said second switching elements and located between said first and second substrates;

    wherein, under a pressure applied thereto, said first conductive element contacts at least one of the plurality of first switching elements, thereby actuating said first switching element to transmit at least one first conductive signal; and

    wherein, when said pressure exceed a pressure threshold, said second conductive element contacts at least one of sais plurality of second switching elements, thereby actuating said second switching element to transmit at least one second conductive signal; and

    a processing module, said processing module, upon receipt of said first conductive signal and said at least one second conductive signal, controls the motion of the operation object according to a number of first and second conductive signals corresponding to the number of said first and second switching elements actuation on said first and second substrates.
