Abstract

A proximity-based mutually capacitance-sensitive touchpad (26) that is disposed directly beneath a keypad keymat (22) of a mobile telephone (10), wherein posts (24) associated with each key (20) pass through a mutually capacitance-sensitive sensor electrode grid of the touchpad such that the keypad posts (24) do not interface with touchpad detection and tracking of pointing object that moves along the keypad surface, to thereby enable touchpad data entry, cursor control, and scroll bar control on a display of the mobile telephone, wherein the keypad posts actuate mechanical switches (32) underneath the touchpad.
