1. A computing device system, comprising:
a computing device including:
a housing having a surface; and
a first magnetic element positioned in the housing;

an input tool mountable to the surface of the housing and having a second magnetic element magnetically attractable to the first magnetic element to retain the input tool to the surface of the housing; and
a haptic driver connected to at least one magnetic element of the first magnetic element or the second magnetic element, the haptic driver being operable to move the at least one magnetic element in response to detecting an input force or touch applied to the input tool and induce movement of the input tool relative to the housing, wherein the input force or touch is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the input tool.
