Abstract
According to various embodiments, there is provided an input device including a height sensor structure configured to provide a height output indicative of whether a gap between the input device and a reference surface is larger than a threshold value; a control circuit configured to control tracking of a movement of the input device in a plane defined by the reference surface, based on the height output; a motion detector configured to provide a detector output indicative of a direction of an at least substantially vertical motion of the input device; and an adjustment circuit configured to adjust the threshold value based on the detector output.
