Abstract

Character-based electronic devices, systems, and methods of using the same are described. More particularly, character-based electronic devices having an actuator are described. An exemplary character-based electronic device comprises a housing, an actuator, a communication bus (e.g., USB hub), a component, and a light source. The component is attached to the communication bus and the actuator such that movement of the actuator relative to the housing alters a condition of the component.
