A multiple function button for an information handling system includes an outer button and an inner button. The outer button includes a first contact component positioned over a first contact of the information handling system. The first contact is associated with a first operation within the information handling system. The inner button is inserted within the outer button and includes a second contact component. The second contact component is positioned over a second contact of the information handling system, which in turn is associated with a second operation within the information handling system.

Hybrid power button with multiple functions

An information handling system includes a keyboard with multiple customizable click feeling keys. A first customizable click feeling key includes a keycap magnet and an electromagnet. The keycap magnet includes a first magnetic polarity portion and a second magnetic polarity portion. The system communicates individually with each of the customizable click feeling keys to determine a mode. Based on the mode being a first mode, the system provides a first current to the electromagnet to generate a first magnetic pole strength within the electromagnet. Based on the mode being a second mode, the system provides a second current to the electromagnet to generate a second magnetic pole strength within the electromagnet. The second magnetic pole strength creates a stronger repulsion force between the electromagnet and the keycap magnet.

A multiple function button for an information handling system includes an outer shell and an inner button. The outer shell includes multiple channels having first, second, third and fourth channels. The inner button is inserted within the outer shell. The inner button includes a tab and a contact component. The tab moves within the multiple channels. When the tab is within the first channel, the inner button is in a first position and contact component is positioned over a first contact of the information handling system. When the tab is within the third channel, the inner button is in a second position and the contact component is positioned over a second contact of the information handling system.
