A wireless electronic device with a kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter is disclosed. In one embodiment, the wireless electronic device comprises a control mechanism, a kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter, and a movable user interface element, wherein movement of the movable user interface element provides both signal information to the control mechanism and kinetic energy to the kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter. The kinetic-energy-to-electrical-energy converter converts kinetic energy provided by movement of the movable user interface element to electrical energy and provides the electrical energy to the wireless electronic device. In one embodiment, the wireless electronic device takes the form of a radio frequency identification (RFID) device with multiple identifiers and a control input.
