Active stylus

A stylus for a touchscreen comprising:

• a barrel extending in a longitudinal direction, the barrel comprising:
• a first end comprising an opening and a second end, the first end and the second end being, in the longitudinal direction, opposite to one another, and
• a first part and a second part, the first part including the first end and the second part including the second end;
• a first tip received at least in part in the barrel and configured to have at least an in-use configuration in which the first tip protrudes from the first part of the barrel through the opening;
• at least two actuators each being configured to be actuated independently from the other actuators and having at least two configurations;
• a detector configured to detect the configuration of the at least two actuators;
• communication components configured to send information relative to the configuration of the at least two actuators;
• and
• a memory unit, wherein the memory unit is configured to store information relative to at least a personalization of at least one actuator, wherein the personalization includes a characteristic of the first tip perceived by the touchscreen upon contact of the first tip with the touchscreen.
