This paper presents a novel flexible pressure sensor with customizable sensitivity and linearity. The sensor achieves this through a positive design strategy utilizing a hyperelastic model and a Hertzian contact model for comparison. Microstructure distribution is pre-calculated to meet desired specifications. Three sensors demonstrated sensitivities of 0.7, 1.0, and 1.3 kPa⁻¹ over a linear region up to 200 kPa, with low sensitivity error (<5%) and high linearity (~0.99). Potential applications in physiological signal recognition are shown.
