pen tablet
Artist's input device
A pen tablet is an input device that lets you draw or write on a flat surface using a stylus, with the strokes appearing on a computer screen.
Unlike a touchscreen, the tablet surface itself doesn't display anything—it just senses the pen's position and pressure.
Artists and designers use pen tablets for digital illustration, photo editing, and graphic design: She switched to a pen tablet because a mouse wasn't precise enough for detailed work.
