ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a separable keyboard and computers having this separable keyboard which can be separated into two parts. This invention is particularly directed towards notebook or lap top computers. An essential feature of this invention is that the user can control the amount and degree to which the two keyboard halves are separated. Additional features include designs that allow the user to sense whether the keyboards are separating or locking into one of several possible discrete positions, and designs that prevent the keyboard halves from swerving or wobbling.
