*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18209906 Titled 'CONTROLLER-LESS QUICK TACTILE FEEDBACK KEYBOARD'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes techniques for providing quick haptic feedback on individual keys of a thin keyboard or keypad, without the need for a controller. The haptic feedback is designed to simulate the tactile sensation of pressing a mechanical key, giving the user the perception that they have actuated a physically movable key.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

In some examples, techniques are provided for quick haptic feedback, without the use of a controller, which is local to individual, non-actuating keys, such as keys of a thin keyboard or keypad. The haptic feedback may be in the form of a simulated “key-click” feedback for an individual key that is pressed by a user such that the finger used to press the key feels the tactile sensation. The haptic feedback mimics the tactile sensation of a mechanical key (e.g., buckling spring, pop-dome key switch) to give a user the perception that they have actuated a mechanically movable key.
