Abstract:
Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement touch sensors and electronic devices including touch sensors. In some implementations, the touch sensor includes a sensing portion and a contact portion extending from the sensing portion. While the sensing portion is configured to be placed in proximity to an interior surface of a housing of an electronic device to detect a touch on the housing, the contact portion is bent to electrically couple the sensing portion to a circuit board via two distinct electrical paths.
