Abstract
A stylus device including a first end or active end for writing and interacting with a touchscreen of a computing device, and a second end or passive end for using an erase function with the touchscreen of the computing device. This allows a user to write or interact with a computing device with one end of the stylus device and simply turn the stylus device over and erase without having to select an eraser function from a menu on the computing device. In this manner, the stylus device provides a more traditional method of writing and erasing, similar to that of traditional pencils.
