Abstract
In one embodiment, an active stylus includes one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic for wirelessly communicating with a device through a touch sensor of the device. The active stylus also includes an electrode for wirelessly receiving or transmitting signals through the touch sensor of the device to enable the communication, wherein the electrode is disposed at or near a tip of the active stylus. The active stylus further includes a conductive element providing at least a portion of a connection between the electrode and the media. The conductive element is made of a single piece of conductive material and includes a first end connected to a circuit board of the active stylus that the media is disposed on. The conductive element also includes a second end that includes a deformable ring configured to fit within an interior portion of the electrode.
