touch sensor
Pressure-activated input device
A touch sensor is an electronic device that detects physical contact or proximity, converting touch into an electrical signal.
Touch sensors enable smartphone screens, elevator buttons, and touchpads to respond to finger contact.
Some detect pressure or location; others sense proximity without requiring actual contact: The lamp has a touch sensor instead of a switch.
