Abstract

An information handling stylus housing defines an expansion bay that accepts conforming replaceable modules to support a variety of different functions, such as a trigger, a capacitive touch input area, a haptic output film and an extra battery. The replaceable module couples into the replacement bay with magnetic attraction and a pin to hole interface. A set of pogo pins extending up from the main circuit board of the stylus contacts pads of the replaceable module to provide power and communication support.
