I'd still love to know how this works, you know. Effectively there 
are three "sensors" (there aren't actually, but you know what I mean) 
on the TP65S pad (pad, rim1, rim2) - and only three contacts on the 
plug (ground, tip, ring). Shouldn't you need four contacts in the 
plug (including ground)? Is there something clever in the body of the 
pad that "encodes" rim1 and rim2 switches differently on the same 
signal (perhaps one goes ground-positive and one goes ground-
negative)?

Enquiring minds wish to know.
