Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices for improved clickable touchpads are described. An input device includes a touchpad component configured to produce positional information associated with an input object sensed within a sensing region of the touchpad component and to sense a click event produced by the input object within the sensing region. The input device further includes a compensation module communicatively coupled to the touchpad component, the compensation module configured to produce an output that compensates for a change in the positional information due to at least one of movement and deformation of the input object during the click event.
