An apparatus to use in an electronic device, comprising: a touch pad placed in an opening defined by a housing of the electronic device; a bracket to secure a first side of the touch pad to the housing adjacent a first side of an edge of the opening; and an adjustment mechanism to selectively move a first corner and a second corner of the touch pad that are opposite the first side in one of a direction toward and away from a front surface of the housing so that the first and second corners (24, 26) are substantially flush with the adjacent edge on a second side of the edge opposite the first side of the edge, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes: a first ramp on a back surface of the housing adjacent a third side of the edge; a second ramp on the back surface of the housing adjacent a fourth side of the edge opposite the third side; a first shim having a first end slideably coupled to the first ramp and a second end slideably coupled to the touch pad; and a second shim having a first end slideably coupled to the second ramp and a second end slideably coupled to the touch pad, wherein movement of the first end of the first shim along the first ramp in a first direction causes the first corner to move toward the front surface of the housing and movement of the first end of the first shim along the first ramp in a second direction causes the first corner to move away from the front surface of the housing, and further wherein movement of the first end of the second shim along the second ramp in a third direction causes the second corner to move away from the front surface of the housing and movement of the first end of the second shim along the second ramp in a fourth direction causes the second corner to move toward the front surface of the housing. a touch pad placed in an opening defined by a housing of the electronic device; a bracket to secure a first side of the touch pad to the housing adjacent a first side of an edge of the opening; and an adjustment mechanism to selectively move a first corner and a second corner of the touch pad that are opposite the first side in one of a direction toward and away from a front surface of the housing so that the first and second corners (24, 26) are substantially flush with the adjacent edge on a second side of the edge opposite the first side of the edge, wherein the adjustment mechanism includes: a first ramp on a back surface of the housing adjacent a third side of the edge; a second ramp on the back surface of the housing adjacent a fourth side of the edge opposite the third side; a first shim having a first end slideably coupled to the first ramp and a second end slideably coupled to the touch pad; and a second shim having a first end slideably coupled to the second ramp and a second end slideably coupled to the touch pad, wherein movement of the first end of the first shim along the first ramp in a first direction causes the first corner to move toward the front surface of the housing and movement of the first end of the first shim along the first ramp in a second direction causes the first corner to move away from the front surface of the housing, and further wherein movement of the first end of the second shim along the second ramp in a third direction causes the second corner to move away from the front surface of the housing and movement of the first end of the second shim along the second ramp in a fourth direction causes the second corner to move toward the front surface of the housing.
