System and method for connecting information handling system with a unified keyboard and mouse cable

A method for interfacing user inputs with information handling system processing components, the method comprising:

• disposing the processing components in a portable housing;
• exposing a connector in the portable housing, the connector interfaced with the processing components;
• connecting a first end of a cable to a keyboard assembly, the cable having a single membrane for at least part of a length, the keyboard assembly having keypad connectors and point stick connectors connected with the cable, the keypad connectors and point stick connectors disposed proximate to each other to form a V shape;
• connecting a second end of the cable to the connector in the portable housing;
• and
• assembling the keyboard assembly into the portable housing over the processing components.

An information handling system keyboard cable comprising:

• a set of keyboard conductors having a first end terminating at a motherboard connector and a second end terminating at a keyboard connector;
• a set of point stick conductors having a first end terminating at the motherboard connector and a second end terminating at a point stick connector;
• and
• a sheath enclosing the keyboard conductors together with at least a portion of the point stick conductors;
• wherein the keyboard connector comprises plural conductive pads interfaced with the keyboard conductors and formed in a V shape;
• wherein the point stick connector comprises plural conductive pads interfaced with the point stick conductors proximate the keyboard conductors at the V shape, the membrane enclosing both the keyboard conductors and the point stick conductors from motherboard connector to both the point stick connector and the keyboard connector.
