Abstract
In one general aspect, a method can include receiving a plurality of indicators of interactions of a user with a plurality of locations of a touch-sensitive surface of an input area included in a base portion of a computing device. The method further includes receiving a plurality of indicators of pressure associated with at least a portion of the plurality of interactions, selecting a first interaction profile based on a first portion of the plurality of indicators of interactions and based on a first portion of the plurality of indicators of pressure, associating a first input mode with the first portion of the plurality of indicators of interactions based on the first interaction profile. The method still further includes associating a second input mode with a second portion of the plurality of indicators of interactions based on a second interaction profile different from the first interaction profile.
