1. A base comprising:

  • a frame;

    a keyboard enclosed by the frame, the keyboard being configured to wirelessly communicate with a computing device;

    a mount hingedly attached to the frame by at least one friction hinge, the mount comprising;

    a first column of magnets extending in a first direction, the first direction being generally perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the mount about the frame; and

    a row of magnets extending in a second direction, the second direction being generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the mount about the frame; and

    a torsion spring applying torque to the friction hinge in a direction to reduce torque required to rotate the mount in a direction that increases an angle θ

    between the mount and a plane, the plane extending from the friction hinge away from the keyboard in a direction parallel to an extension of the frame from the friction hinge.
