pressure sensitivity
Force-detecting input capability
Pressure sensitivity is the ability of a device to detect how hard you're pressing, not just whether you're touching it.
Drawing tablets and styluses use pressure sensitivity to vary line thickness or opacity based on how firmly you press—light strokes make thin, faint lines while heavy pressure creates bold, dark ones.
Touchscreens with pressure sensitivity distinguish between a tap and a firm press, enabling different functions.
