The Wacom-technology is based on a resonance loop. The stylus comprises part of a resonance loop, probably an electrical coil (causing inductance). The tip itself is probably only a core for the electrical coil.

This would mean the part of the stylus that is recognised by the board is in the stylus itself. The core only "expands" the electromagnetic "presence" to the tip.

The supposed button is probably covering the opening where the coil was inserted into the stylus.
