Stylus having a deformable tip and method of using the same

An apparatus, comprising:

• a stylus having
• a body portion configured to be engaged by a user, the body portion having a first cross-sectional shape, the first cross-sectional shape having a thickness and a width different from the thickness;
• and
• a tip portion coupled to an end of the body portion, the tip portion including a first end having the first cross-sectional shape and a second end having a second cross-sectional shape, the second cross-sectional shape having a size smaller than a size of the first cross-sectional shape, the tip portion including a first surface and a second surface extending between the first end and the second end, the first surface being associated with the thickness, the second surface being associated with the width,
• the tip portion being formed from a flexible material configured to elastically deform when placed in contact with a touch sensitive display to define an engagement surface that is input to the touch sensitive display, the engagement surface having a first size when the first surface of the tip portion is placed in contact with the touch sensitive display, the engagement surface having a second size different from the first size when the second surface of the tip portion is placed in contact with the touch sensitive display.
