Zusammenfassung:	A method of manufacturing a button-enabled housing assembly (200) includes preforming a composite button component or insert (645) having an elastically flexible button membrane (404) that is mounted on a rigid frame (303), and thereafter molding a housing (206) over the button insert. The composite button insert is formed in a co- molding operation and can include a rigid island (423) in the flexible button membrane for supporting a cosmetic keycap (251). Une méthode de fabrication d'un ensemble boîtier activé par bouton (200) comprend le préformage d'un composant de bouton composite ou d'un insert (645) ayant une membrane de bouton élastiquement flexible (404) qui est montée sur un cadre rigide (303), et par la suite le moulage d'un boîtier (206) sur l'insert de bouton. L'insert de bouton composite est formé dans une opération de co-moulage et peut comprendre un îlot rigide (423) dans la membrane de bouton flexible pour supporter un capuchon cosmétique (251).
