1. A method comprising:

  • detecting, by a computing system, a touch input on the computing system comprising a single tap on a side surface of a housing for a display surface of the computing system, the detecting comprising analyzing a change in a data stream from a sensor of the computing system by applying a first signal de-noising algorithm to the data stream;

    determining, by the computing system, the nature of the detected touch input; and

    generating, by the computing system, a discrete cursor movement from a set of discrete cursor movements based on the determined nature of the detected touch input, wherein generating the discrete cursor movement comprises accessing a table in which different touch inputs are respectively matched to different discrete cursor movements, the method further comprising generating the discrete cursor movement based on a specified cursor movement matched in the table to the detected touch input.
