1. A stylus comprising:
- one or more electrodes;
one or more sensors in or on the stylus for detecting a stylus movement comprising a rotation of the stylus, one or more functionalities associated with the detected stylus movement defined based at least in part on;
user-configurable stylus settings associated with the stylus such that the one or more functionalities are initiated in response to a detection of the stylus movement according to the user-configurable stylus settings; and
one or more of;
a stylus orientation; and
a stylus location, the stylus location being independent of the location of a device; and
one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying logic for wirelessly transmitting signals from the one or more electrodes to a touch sensor of the device.
