Abstract

An input device is disclosed. The input device includes a movable touch pad (72) capable of detecting an object in close proximity thereto so as to generate a first control signal. The input device also includes a movement indicator (78) capable of detecting the movements of the movable touch pad so as to generate one or more distinct second control signals. The control signals being used to perform actions in an electronic device operatively coupled to the input device.
