Abstract

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.
