Abstract: An information handling system peripheral camera is built in a cylindrical housing, such as an extruded aluminum cylinder, having a bottom portion rotationally coupled to an upper portion by a hinge to act as a bracket that couples the peripheral camera to a display upper surface. A bracket disposed in the housing and exposed by rotation of the bottom portion to an open position rests on the display upper surface to rotate for varied camera tilt. The bottom portion leverages against a rear surface of the display to hold the camera in position.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide haptic feedback at locations of a keyboard palm rest during operation of a software program, such as a video game. During game play, a haptic event, such as an explosion, is detected within the game. A magnitude of the event and a direction of the event from a reference location in the game, such as an avatar's location, are determined. Haptic feedback locations on the palm rest are selected based on the magnitude of the event and the direction of the event from the reference location. Mechanical and thermal haptic feedback are generated at the selected locations of the palm rest, where the strength and timing of the feedback at each location are selected based on the magnitude and direction information for the event. Embodiments thus provide multi-dimensional haptic feedback that relates positional awareness to a user of events occurring within a video game.

Abstract: A mouse configured to communicatively couple to an information handling system may include an enclosure, a scroll wheel enclosed within the enclosure, with a portion of the scroll wheel extending from the enclosure, the scroll wheel configured to rotate about a first rotational axis, a scroll wheel gear mechanically coupled to the scroll wheel and configured to rotate about the first rotational axis at the same angular velocity as the scroll wheel, and a damping gear assembly.

Abstract: A mouse scroll wheel adapts haptic response to different scroll rotation resolutions by moving a spring member between a first position aligned with a first inner circumference and a second position aligned with a second inner circumference. A selector button selects a first scroll wheel sensor increment and the spring member first position or a second scroll wheel sensor increment and the spring member second position. In one example embodiment, the first inner circumference has twelve teeth to provide haptic feedback at thirty degree wheel sensor increments and the second inner circumference has twenty-four teeth to provide haptic feedback at fifteen degree wheel sensor increments.
