Okay, the title maybe misleading a bit, but here you go, i started to work on digital art and i found that the mouse is not dexterous enough for drawing, i remember using a pen like tool in the labs at the university which we used to practice digital art. The devise looks, feels and functions very similar to pens but it was much much better and i was totally comfortable using those kinda tools, so now the problem is i tried to purchase one but i remember i do not know what they are called. Any help will be greatly helpful

like i said it looks like a pen, we connect it to the pc and use it to draw in illustrator and other software's, so ,, Ummm please help ?

They're called a Tablet and Stylus. Wacom is a popular brand.

Edit: My friend wanted to get into "digital comics", so I bought him a set, an entry-level set, but a working one (back in the XP days). They sat on the top shelf of his desk for years collecting dust.

He made big talk, like he wanted to, then I gave him the opportunity to explore it, and he... couldn't be bothered.

Obviously, I didn't buy the gold and diamond-encrusted set, so the ones I got him weren't good enough.

Can you tell I was triggered?

(*) This goes along with the thread in CPUs and Overclocking, about a G4560 being labeled "sub-standard". Same friend. Sigh.

He's not a friend, he's a mooch.
