A stylus for operation with a digitizer device is described. The stylus comprises a housing, at least one transmitter within the housing, electronic circuitry within the housing, the electronic circuitry configured to generate a signal for transmission by the transmitter such that in use, the digitizer device is able to detect the transmitted signal and infer a position of the transmitter with respect to the digitizer device; and an electrically conducting connector. The connector connects the transmitter to the electronic circuitry, and conveys the generated signal from the electronic circuitry to the transmitter. The connector and the transmitter are formed as a single element.
