Abstract: A mechanism is described for interpreting touches to a pad cover placed over a sensor external to a computing device. A method of embodiments of the invention includes sensing a touch on a pad cover covering a capacitive sensor of a computing device. The sensing may include determining a capacitive intensity that corresponds to an amount of pressure applied to the pad cover via the touch. The method may further include interpreting the capacitive intensity as measured by the capacitive sensor across a pad cover gap to determine the amount of pressure applied to the pad cover, determining user intent based on the interpreted capacitive intensity and the determined corresponding amount of applied pressure relating to the touch, and facilitating an action in accordance with the user intent.
