Abstract
A stylus placed in a docking station is used as a joystick by setting up a self-capacitance or mutual capacitance between the stylus and the docking port and measuring changes in that mutual capacitance as the stylus is moved by the user. The mutual capacitance is set up using electrodes and/or the housing of the stylus and the changes may be measured either from the stylus or from the docking station.
