A keypad assembly for a wireless device is provided. The keypad assembly comprises a circuit board, a keypad portion, a light guide, and at least one friction device. The keypad portion has a number of keys for physical actuation, each of the keys having an actuator post attached to a back side of the key. The circuit board has one or more electrical switches, the electrical switches corresponding to keys of the keypad. The light guide is located between the keypad portion and the circuit board. The light guide has a number of holes formed therein. The holes provide paths for respective actuator posts of the keys to travel through to contact the respective electrical switches on the circuit board. The at least one friction device is located in at least one of the holes of the light guide. The friction device provides a physical barrier limiting movement of the actuator post in a direction normal to the direction of actuation and the friction device applies friction to the side of the actuator post, thereby resisting movement of the actuator post in the direction of actuation.

A trackpad has a cover abutting a housing. The cover includes a body that is transparent to infrared light and visible light. A first ink, deposited in a first area on a surface of the cover body, is transmissive to the infrared light and substantially opaque to visible light. A second ink is deposited in at least one second area on the surface of the cover body and is transmissive to visible light. A first emitter, within the housing, produces infrared light that is transmitted through the cover. A second emitter, within the housing, produces visible light that is transmitted through each second area of the cover. An optical sensor is provided within the housing for receiving infrared light that is reflected by an external object back through the cover.

Electronic devices having a swivel input interface are described herein. An example electronic device includes a display and an input interface being pivotably coupled relative to the display about a swivel axis. The input interface is to pivot between a first position to provide a first viewing area of the display and a second position to provide a second viewing area of the display. The input interface has a first surface to provide an input area and a second surface opposite the input area. The second surface is oriented toward the display when the input interface pivots relative to the display between the first and second positions and the input interface extends over the swivel axis such that the swivel axis intersects the input area.

A mobile device comprising a first portion and a second portion is provided. In at least one embodiment, the first portion comprises a first part providing at least a first display screen, and a second part providing at least a second display screen. The first part may be foldably coupled to the second part to allow the first part to fold with respect to the second part about a first folding axis. The second portion comprises a third part providing at least a third display screen. The first portion is slidably coupled to the second portion, and at least one of the first portion and the second portion comprises one or more coupling elements configured so that the second part of the first portion is foldable with respect to the third part of the second portion about a second folding axis. In one embodiment, the first, second and third parts are folded to resemble a picture frame comprising multiple digital displays.
