graphics tablet
Stylus-driven drawing surface
A graphics tablet is a flat, pressure-sensitive surface that translates pen or stylus movements into digital input on a computer screen.
Artists and designers use them for drawing, illustration, and photo editing because they offer more natural control than a mouse: She sketched the portrait on her graphics tablet.
Also called a drawing tablet or pen tablet.
