In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may inject material into a mold for a housing of an information handling system through at least one cavity for at least one pivot and through multiple positions adjacent to a clickpad cavity to create a clickpad portion of the housing; may create multiple bridges at multiple positions that bind the clickpad portion of the housing to other portions of the housing; and may remove the multiple bridges to permit the clickpad portion of the housing to rotate about the at least one pivot. For example, the housing of the information handling system, the at least one pivot, and the clickpad holder may be formed of a unitary material. For instance, the unitary material may be or include a polymer.
