1. An eyewear for a user comprising:
- an eyewear frame;
a first switch at the frame, the first switch having at least two operational states, and the operational states of the switch being configured to be changed by a user touching a surface of the frame, without moving any mechanical part at least partially exposed to the outside of the frame; and
a first electrical component in the frame configured to be electrically coupled to the first switch to perform a function.

Abstract
In one embodiment, an eyewear for a user includes an eyewear frame, electrical circuitry at least partially in the eyewear frame, and a touch sensitive input surface on the eyewear frame configured to provide an input to the electrical circuitry to perform a function via touching the touch sensitive input surface. In another embodiment, the eyewear includes a switch with at least two operational states. The operational states of the switch can be configured to be changed by sliding a finger across the touch sensitive input surface of the frame.
