Pen/ Stylus

O Many devices today can accept pen input; that is, input by writing, drawing, or tapping on the screen with a penlike device called a stylus. O Sometimes, the stylus (also called a digital pen, electronic pen, or tablet pen) is simply a plastic device with no additional functionality. O It is a pressure-sensitive device that transmits the pressure applied by the user to the device that the stylus is being used with in order to allow more precise input. O These are typically powered by the device that it is being used with, have a smooth rounded tip so they don’t scratch the screen, and contain buttons or switches to perform actions such as erasing content or right-clicking.
