Also referred to as a digitizing tablets, graphics pad, or drawing tablet, a tablet is an alternate type of input device that can be used in place of, or in conjunction with, a mouse, trackball, or other pointing device. The tablet consists of two parts, a flat surface for drawing, and a pen, stylus, or puck that is programmed to work with the tablets. Usually, you also get a pen holder, and some tablets even come with a cordless mouse that works on the tablets surface. Many non-artists also choose to use a tablet because it offers a more ergonomic method of input that can reduce the likelihood of developing repetitive strain injury.
