Abstract
A computer stylus may have a shaft with a metal tube and a cap slidable between open and closed positions. A connector port may be exposed in the open position and hidden in the closed position. An antenna element may be formed from conductive traces on a printed circuit board in the shaft and aligned with a window in the metal tube. The cap may include a metal hook extending from a conductive wall into the shaft. The hook may overlap the antenna element in the closed position. The shaft may include a dielectric bumper in an opening of the hook. The hook and wall may slide relative to the shaft along the dielectric bumper. The cap may include a metal sleeve around the port. The cap may include a conductive bumper on the wall. The conductive bumper may contact the sleeve when the cap is in the closed position.
