Stylus

A stylus is a slender, pen-like instrument used for input on touch-sensitive screens, such as those found on smartphones, tablets, and graphic tablets. It enables precision and control when selecting, drawing, or writing on digital surfaces. Styluses can vary in design and functionality, with some featuring pressure sensitivity for varying line thickness in artwork, while others may include erasers or shortcut buttons for added convenience. The device can be made from various materials, including plastic or metal, and may use a conductive tip to interact with capacitive screens, or a specialized nib for pressure-sensitive designs. Styluses are particularly popular among artists, designers, and note-takers, offering a more comfortable and precise alternative to using fingers for touch input.
