    Abstract: A single user input element can be used in four different modes including a first mode in which the user input element mimics a single button by restricting input along multiple axes, a second mode in which the user input element restricts input to a first axis, a third mode in which the user input element restricts input to a second axis, and a fourth mode in which the user has no restrictions to user input. A rotational cam may be used to interact with shuttle pins that control the height of a surface (e.g., an up/down position) of the plurality of fill spacers to change a look and/or feel of the user input element. A rotational structure which has lockout tabs to prevent individual rotational axis from being rotated depending on the configuration of the input device. These aspects may provide a reconfigurable direction pad for a game controller.

    Abstract: A disclosed wireless charging clip for an information handling system includes a first surface comprising a charging coil, a ferrite sheet positioned below the first surface, mating elements to be coupled to respective mating elements of the information handling system when the charging clip is installed on the information handling system, charging circuitry configured supply inductive power to charge an auxiliary device when the device is placed on top of the first surface, and a connector through which input power is received from the information handling system when the charging clip is installed. The charging coil may include multiple graphene layers. The charging clip may include a second surface and a third surface including the connector through which input power is received from the information handling system. The mating elements may include magnets to align and hold the charging clip in position with respect to the information handling system.

    Abstract: A portable information handling system supports a flexible OLED display film over housing portions rotationally coupled by a hinge by folding the OLED display film over the hinge. Hinge brackets that couple to the housing portions each have a gear member with a semicircular shape gear inner circumference that engages a gear subassembly of the hinge main body. Hinge bracket rotation translates through the gear subassembly for synchronized housing rotation. The hinge main body has first and second semicircular portions with a smooth surface defined to accept the outer circumference smooth surface of the gear member semicircular shape at first and second rotation axes about which the hinge brackets pivot so that the display film has space to fold in the closed position.
