Abstract: A computing device may include a keyboard, a switch in mechanical communication with an underside of a key arranged in the keyboard, a processor, a transmit line electrically connected to the processor, a sense line electrically connected to the processor, and the transmit line and the sense line are selectively connectable through the switch when the key is depressed, memory in communication with the processor, and programmed instructions stored in the memory that, when executed, cause the processor to identify changes in capacitance from the sense line when the key is not depressed, identify a hand gesture performed proximate the keyboard based on the changes in capacitance, and execute an action based on at least one the identification of the hand gesture.

Abstract: Using a capacitance sensor may include taking a first noise measurement by imposing a first signal on a capacitance sensor, the first signal having a first frequency; taking a second noise measurement by imposing a second signal on the capacitance sensor, the second signal having a second frequency different than the first frequency; determining the measurement with the lower amount of noise between the first noise measurement and the second noise measurement; and taking a capacitance measurement by imposing a third signal on the capacitance sensor, the third signal having either the first frequency or the second frequency based, at least in part, on the frequency of the measurement with the lower amount of noise.

Abstract: Adjusting a cursor speed may include a sensor with at least one capacitance sense electrode, a controller in communication with the sensor, memory in communication with the controller, and programmed instructions stored in the memory and configured, when executed, to cause the capacitance controller to detect movement of an object moving proximate the sensor at an object speed, apply a cursor speed to a cursor depicted in a display based at least in part on a cursor-to-object speed relationship, detect a trigger event in the detected object movement, and change the cursor-to-object speed relationship in response to detecting the trigger event.
