An information handling system keyboard includes an array of microphones having a defined layout that supports location of human voice sounds captured by the array of microphones to isolate voices originating from a defined distance and orientation while filtering other voices and non-voice sounds. A display included in the keyboard depicts a visual indication of voice quality that can include instructions to a speaker regarding adjustments to help obtain a desired voice capture quality to support a video or audio conference of an information handling system interfaced with the keyboard. The keyboard display also supports an interface to control a keyboard, video, mouse (KVM) switch interfaced with the keyboard.

An information handling system peripheral mouse accepts scroll inputs at a scroll wheel extending from the upper surface of the mouse. The scroll wheel rotates about an axis and has a geared wheel core with peaks and valleys that rotate past a magnet, such as a Halbach magnet. The geared wheel core interacts with a magnetic field of the Halbach magnet so that magnetic flux resistance to rotation varies based upon the distance between the peaks and valleys to the magnetic field. Measuring changes in current at the geared wheel core related to changes in the magnetic field as the scroll wheel rotates provides an indication of wheel rotation, such as by spikes of current as the peaks pass the Halbach magnet.

An information handling system mouse includes a position sensor that detects movement of the mouse and reports the movement to generate cursor movement at plural displays interfaced with the information handling system. The mouse automatically changes between a first position resolution and a second position resolution to generate cursor movement based upon a resolution of a display at which the cursor is presented. As the cursor moves between each of plural displays in response to mouse movement, the mouse automatically changes the position resolution so that cursor movement relative to the mouse movement remains consistent even where the cursor is presented at displays having different display resolutions.

A keyboard of an information handling system includes keyboard (RF) transmitter/receiver that provides range information for a mobile device paired to the keyboard RF transmitter/receiver. A keyboard controller is coupled to the keyboard RF transmitter/receiver and is responsive to the range information indicating the mobile device is out of range to disable key input data of the keyboard. After the key input data is disabled, the keyboard controller enables the key input data responsive to the range information indicating the mobile device has come back into range. The keyboard RF transmitter/receiver communicates with a host RF transmitter/receiver over a first RF channel and communicates with the mobile device over a second RF channel. The keyboard controller enables the key input data responsive to a successful override of the keyboard input data being disabled. The override is a predetermined key sequence and/or a valid finger print.
