Abstract: The description relates to input devices that can be secured to and used to control various devices. One example input device can include a housing defining a top surface that includes controls. The housing can define a recess that includes generally opposing upper and lower surfaces that extends at least partially under and parallel to the top surface. A self-adjusting gripping mechanism can extend into the recess through the lower surface and can be biased toward the upper surface. The self-adjusting gripping mechanism can be configured to be contacted by devices having a range of thicknesses and configured to grip individual devices within the range of thicknesses between the self-adjusting gripping mechanism and the upper surface.

Abstract: A method of selectively illuminating part of an electronic device includes obtaining a posture status of a hinge supporting a display cover relative to a base of the electronic device and illuminating an optical module positioned on an outer surface of the electronic device based on the hinge position of the posture status.

Abstract: The structure and devices described herein provide an improved attachment for a peripheral device, such as a stylus, to a computing device when not in use. A stylus may have magnets contained therein that cooperate with magnets in a computing device to magnetically secure the stylus to the computing device when not in use. In addition, a retractable interlock may automatically extend from the stylus when the stylus is in proximity of the computing device. The interlock is received in a receptacle of the computing device to provide an improved attachment through the mechanical interaction of the interlock and the receptacle. The interlock is biased in a retracted position and automatically extends through magnetic attraction with the computing device.
