1. A trackpad device, comprising:

  • a top surface;

    a capacitive sensor operably coupled to the top surface;

    a resistive sensor disposed below the capacitive sensor; and

    at least one controller operably coupled to the capacitive sensor and to the resistive sensor,wherein;

    the at least one controller and the capacitive sensor are configured to detect one or more objects on the top surface,the at least one controller and the resistive sensor are configured to detect the one or more objects on the top surface independent of the detection by the at least one controller and the capacitive sensor, andthe at least one controller is configured to determine locations of the one or more objects on the top surface using information from the detection by the at least one controller and capacitive sensor and information from the detection by the at least one controller and the resistive sensor.
