Two sensors. One decision.
Capacitive sensing tells the module a hand is there. Force sensing tells it the press was real. The HABI Button only acts when both agree. That is what makes it reliable with gloves, and immune to water, sleeves and knocks.
Capacitive
Detects a hand at the surface. On its own it would also react to water, a wet cloth or a sleeve.
Force
Detects a real push. On its own it would also react to vibration or a knock from a tool.
Both, or nothing
The microcontroller registers a press only when both channels agree, then confirms it with haptics, light and sound.

Both channels, or nothing. Either one alone is not an input.
Your glove, your surface, your feel.
Every threshold is set in HABI Studio. A cabin used with thick winter gloves and a lab instrument used with nitrile gloves run the same hardware with different settings.
