Abstract: A portable information handling system palm rest adjacent a mechanical keyboard includes a touch detection surface to accept end user touches as inputs to the information handling system and a force detection sensor to detect pressure associated with the touches. Logic executing on a processing resource compares touch areas with associated pressures to differentiate intentional inputs from unintentional inputs, such as a palm resting on the palm rest. An active area for detection touches, detecting force and outputting haptic feedback is defined at a user interface presented by a main display of the information handling system and/or a secondary display in the palm rest.

Abstract: An information handling system touchpad includes an application area with a display to present control icons of an application executing on the information handling system, such as camera and microphone icons to control camera and microphone functions of a videoconference application. The touchpad dynamically scales between a first configuration that accepts cursor inputs at the full touch detection surface area and a second configuration that limits cursor inputs to touches in a first portion of the touch detection surface and presents control icons in a second portion, such as by applying different touch analysis logic to end user touches in the first and second portions.
