Original Abstract Submitted

A power tool includes a housing, a motor, a first user input device, a second user input device, a controller, and a circuit board. The motor is disposed at least partially within the housing. The first input device is partially disposed within the housing and is configured to move along a first axis. The second input device is also partially disposed within the housing and is configured to move along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis. The controller is configured to control an operational characteristic of the motor. The circuit board is connected to the controller. The circuit board includes a first sensor and a second sensor on a first side of the circuit board. The first sensor is configured to sense a plurality of distinct positions of the first user input device. The second sensor is configured to sense a displacement along the second axis.
