Method and apparatus for haptic feedback with a rocker switch

Products and processes for providing tactile sensations to input devices (2) or electronic devices are provided. Input devices include mechanical input devices (such as, for example, mechanical switches) and non-mechanical input devices (such as, for example, touchpads). Tactile feedback is provided by using an actuator (6) or other means in communication with the input device (2) or electronic device. A controller (9) may be employed to receive signals from the input devices and control the actuator. Tactile feedback to an input device or electronic device may be provided in response to one or more events or situations. Such an event or situation may be any one designated. Examples of such events and situations include the level of pressure placed on an input device; the availability or lack of availability of a function associated with an input device (2); and the function, menu, or mode or operation associated with an input device's activation. A variety of feedback types and combinations may be selected.
