Abstract
An electronic device is disclosed. In some examples, the electronic device includes an input element configured to move in a first direction in response to an input at the input element. The input element can include circuitry configured to perform a first functionality, and process data resulting from the performance of the first functionality and output the processed data from the input element. In some examples, the electronic device includes a processor electrically coupled to the circuitry and configured to process the movement of the input element as an input to the electronic device, and receive the processed data and perform an action based on the processed data.
