Abstract: For mechanical keyboards or other input devices with individual mechanical key buttons, and particularly for compact keyboards used for laptops and other such devices, the size of the up and down arrow keys is usually half the size of most other keys on the keyboard. For example, each letter key on a physical keyboard is typically double the size of each of the up and down arrow keys on that same keyboard. Due to the smaller physical size of the up and down arrow keys, a modified mechanical configuration is used which results in a variation in the tactile feel of the various buttons of the keyboard for a user. The present disclosure discloses a capacitive touch enabled key with a corresponding tactile button to allow the key to represent multiple different inputs while also maintaining a same tactile response as other single input keys of the input device.

Abstract: In various examples, a portable computing device is provided that has a bottom shell and a top shell pivotally coupled to the bottom shell for movement between a closed position and at least one open position. A display fits within a perimeter rim of the top shell, the display being obscured from view when the top shell is in the closed position and being viewable when the top shell is in the at least one open position. A coupling linkage couples the display, the top shell, and the bottom shell, to move the display between at least a first position with the display closer to the top shell when the top shell is in the closed position and a second position with at least a portion of the display farther from the top shell when the top shell is in the open position.
