Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for restoring stylus customizations using a stylus sync system on a touch sensitive device. The stylus customizations may relate to the stylus functionality and/or control features, for example. The sync system stores the customizations from a first stylus such that those customizations can be later restored to a second stylus. For example, the sync system may allow a user to restore stylus customizations to a replacement stylus, a borrowed stylus, or an upgraded or otherwise new stylus. This allows the user to maintain previously selected customizations without having to manually re-program each one individually. Once the stylus customizations are restored to the second stylus, the sync system can store any additional customizations made to this second stylus such that those customizations can be later restored to a third stylus, and so forth.
