In an example, a retractable lock may include a lock tab disposed within a first device in a first position. The lock tab may engage with a complementary tab receptacle disposed within a separate, second device when the lock tab protrudes out of the first device in a second position. The retractable lock may also include a bias member to bias the lock tab towards the first position, and a magnet to urge the lock tab to the second position when the magnet is drawn towards a magnetic material.

Retractable locks

In an example, a device foot may include a support movable between a first position and a second position, and a bias member to urge the support towards the first position. An example device foot may further include a latch biased towards a locked position, and movable between the locked position and a released position. Further, the latch may lock the support in the first position if the latch is disposed in the locked position, and may release the support if the latch is disposed in the released position such that the support is movable from the first position to the second position. An example device foot may further include a magnetic element fixed to the latch.

Device feet with a movable support

Examples of adjustment of a touch pad are disclosed herein. One example includes a touch pad adjacent an edge of an opening defined by a housing of an electronic device and a bracket to secure a first side of the touch pad to the housing adjacent the edge. This example also includes an adjustment mechanism to selectively move a first corner and a second corner of the touch pad that are opposite the first side in either a direction toward or away from a front surface of the housing so that the first and second corners are substantially flush will the adjacent edge.

Touch pad adjustment

Examples disclosed herein relate to a click pad. Examples include a circuit board and a switch formed to extend from the circuit board. A stationary pad surrounds all surfaces of the switch extending from the circuit board, is coupled to the switch opposite to the circuit board, and is to be compressed by actuation of the circuit board when a pressure is put on the click pad. A bracket is coupled to the pad to compresses the pad between the circuit board and the bracket.
