According to reports, Apple is working on producing a removable key that will include a position sensor. The main feature of this patent is the removable key structure, which will be used to offer key-based typing input as well as a computer pointing device using the position sensor. The developers hope to include this feature into future products in order to create a more comfortable, portable, and precise pointer input mechanism for computers.
