1. A computing device configured detect a user input comprising:

  • a processor;

    a touch interface in communication with the processor and configured to detect a touch signal corresponding to an object approaching or contacting a surface;

    at least three force sensors in communication with the processor and configured to detect a force signal corresponding to an object exerting a force on the surface;

    whereinin response to the force the processor determines a force centroid location; and

    the touch signals are processed by the processor by analyzing the force centroid location.
