In computing, a stylus (or stylus pen) is a small pen-shaped instrument that is used to input commands to a computer screen, mobile device or graphics tablet. With touchscreen devices, a user places a stylus on the surface of the screen to draw or make selections by tapping the stylus on the screen.[1] In this manner, the stylus can be used instead of a mouse or trackpad as a pointing device, a technique commonly called pen computing. Pen-like input devices which are larger than a stylus, and offer increased functionality such as programmable buttons, pressure sensitivity and electronic erasers, are often known as digital pens.[1] The stylus is the primary input device for personal digital assistants.[1] It is used on the Nintendo DS and 3DS handheld game consoles, and the Wii U's Wii U GamePad.[2] Some smartphones, such as Windows Mobile phones, require a stylus for accurate input.[3] However, devices featuring multi-touch finger-input are becoming more popular than stylus-driven devices in the smartphone market;[4] capacitive stylus, different from standard stylus, can be used for these finger-touch devices (iPhone, etc.). The stylus (S-Pen) is also used in the famous Galaxy Note series manufactured by Samsung Electronics. Graphics tablets use a stylus containing circuitry (powered by battery or operating passively by inductance), to allow multi-function buttons on the barrel of the pen or stylus to transmit user actions to the tablet. Most tablets detect varying degrees of pressure sensitivity, e.g., for use in a drawing program to vary line thickness or color density. Beyond the side of the input mechanism, there has been a need for the physical output of the stylus. Recently, new pen-based interfaces have been proposed to simulate the realistic physical sensations on digital surfaces (e.g., tablet computer, smartphone etc.) to allow users to feel as if they feel like analog-pen writing, for instance, RealPen Project.[5] The first use of a stylus in a computing device was the Styalator, demonstrated by Tom Dimond in 1957.[6] {{Gallery|File:HTC Touch2 used with a stylus.jpg|A smartphone being operated with a stylus. |File:Samsung_Galaxy_Note_4_(16316413592).jpg|Samsung Galaxy Note series of smartphones come with an integrated stylus called S-Pen |File:Nintendo-DS-Lite-w-stylus.png|A Nintendo DS with its stylus. |title=}} See also
