System and method of utilizing a stylus with an information handling system

A stylus communicatively coupled to an information handling system (IHS) having a display for presenting a graphical user interface (GUI), the stylus comprising:

• a processor;
• a rotary encoder coupled to the processor;
• an electromechanical switch coupled to the processor, the electromechanical switch comprising a slider configurable in one position of a plurality of positions;
• a set of light emitting diodes (LEDs) configurable to emit light having a color in a visible spectrum;
• and
• a memory medium, coupled to the at least one processor, that stores instructions executable by the processor, which when executed by the processor, cause the stylus to:
• receive, via the electromechanical switch, a first user input comprising an indication of the slider in a position of the plurality of positions;
• receive, via the rotary encoder, a second user input associated with an element of the GUI;
• in response to receiving the second user input, emit, via the set of LEDs, first light emissions of a first color in the visible spectrum;
• receive, via the rotary encoder, a third user input associated with a selection associated with the element of the GUI;
• in response to receiving, the third user input, emit, via the set of LEDs, second light emissions of a second color in the visible spectrum, different from the first color;
• and
• communicate, to the IHS, information that indicates the selection associated with the element of the GUI.
