What is a Stylus Pen?

A stylus pen (or stylus) is a pen-shaped computer device that works like a mouse. More technically, it's a pointing device. By pressing the tip of the stylus against a surface such as a drawing tablet or screen, the cursor of the "mouse" will jump to that position and the operating system will interpret the stylus press as a mouse click.
