Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may be provided with a display, trackpad member, or other structure that can shift laterally with respect to another device structure in response to the application of shear force. Shear force may be applied by the fingers of a user. Shear force sensors may be provided in an electronic device to measure the shear force that is applied. The shear force sensors may be capacitive sensors. A capacitive shear force sensor may have capacitive electrodes. In response to application of shear force, the capacitive electrodes may move with respect to each other. Parallel planar electrodes may shift with respect to each other so that the amount of overlap and therefore capacitance between the electrodes changes or the separation distance between parallel planar electrodes may increase or decrease to produce measureable capacitance changes. |
