1. An input device for use with an electronic device, the input device comprising:
- an elongated body including, at an end thereof, an opening to a cavity within the elongated body;
a drawing body including a cylindrical portion and an opening to a cavity within the drawing body at an end of the drawing body, the cylindrical portion being for insertion into the cavity within the elongated body through the opening included at the end of the elongated body; and
a tip being inserted into the cavity within the drawing body,wherein, in a state in which the cylindrical portion is inserted into the cavity within the elongated body through the opening included at the end of the elongated body, the cylindrical portion is retained by the elongated body,wherein the tip corresponds to an attribute communicated from the input device to the electronic device,wherein the attribute is used by the electronic device to apply a drawing style associated with the attribute to an input by the input device to the electronic device, andwherein the tip is one of a plurality of tips each having a different attribute associated therewith.
