Graphics Tablet

Definition: Graphics tablets, also known as digitizing tablets, are computer peripheral devices that allow "hand-drawn" tablet-to-screen input. Using a pen/stylus rather than a mouse, the graphics tablet allows the control of "drawing" on the screen with the same hand control that a pencil allows, by drawing pen-strokes on the tablet and having them mirrored by the cursor on-screen. Some tablets also have a screen of their own that allows a more accurate "drawing" experience.
