Abstract: One exemplary system for configuring an adaptive input device includes a display and an adaptive input device having a plurality of depressible buttons. The system also includes a computing device operatively coupled to the display and the adaptive input device. The computing device includes a menu module to display a plurality of graphical images on the display, each graphical image associated with a computing function. The computing device also includes a detection module to detect a selected graphical image, from the plurality of graphical images, for display on a depressible button of the adaptive input device. The computing device also includes a presentation module to visually present the selected graphical image on the depressible button.

Abstract: Embodiments relating to a contextually adaptive input device are presented. As one example embodiment, a computing system is provided, which includes an adaptive input device including an active display region for receiving touch input and a passive display region for presenting graphical content. The computing system further includes a computing device operatively coupled with the adaptive input device and including an adaptive device module. The adaptive device module is configured to receive a touch input via the active display region of the adaptive input device; present graphical content at the passive display region of the adaptive input device; and vary the graphical content presented at the passive display region responsive to a change of a context of the adaptive input device.
