Abstract: Methods and systems for personalizing an adaptive input device having a dynamically updateable display region are provided herein. One exemplary method includes sending an identity data query from a server to a computing device operatively coupled to an adaptive input device. The method further includes receiving identity data at the server from the computing device. The identity data includes one or more of a user identifier, a role identifier, a device identifier and a content identifier. The method further includes retrieving profile data from a profile storage module of the server, the profile data being based on the identity data, and the profile data including one or more of device-specific settings, application-specific settings, and user-specific settings for the adaptive input device. The method further includes sending the profile data to the computing device to update the visual appearance of the display region.
