What is stylus?

A stylus is like a special pen you can use on your tablet or phone screen to draw or click.

Imagine you're playing a game on your tablet, and instead of using your finger, which might get smudgy or slippery, you use a long, skinny stick, that's a stylus! It feels smooth and precise, like writing with a pencil on paper. You can tap the screen to choose things or drag your finger across it to draw shapes or write letters.

A stylus has a tip that touches the screen. When you move it, the tablet knows where it is, just like how your finger moves on the screen when you're drawing with your thumb. But a stylus can be more accurate, especially if it's designed to feel like a real pen.

Some styluses even have buttons or can change how hard they press on the screen, making them feel more like a real pen or pencil. It’s like having a magic pencil that only works on your tablet, but without any magic.
