Abstract: A device may include a display, a component configured to be manipulated in a one dimensional, a two dimensional, or a three dimensional fashion, logic to detect a variable associated with the manipulation, logic to generate a signal corresponding to the detected manipulation, and logic to utilize the signal in the device or output the signal to an external device, where the component includes at least one of the display or one or more keys, and where the component capable of moving in the one dimensional fashion is configured to move in a direction other than a direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of the device that includes the component.
