It comes with a stylus that has a replaceable plastic tip, and 3 extra tips are packaged with it. The stylus itself has a 1.5 volt AAA cell in it, and the barrel of the stylus has a rocker switch on it, one that seems to have 3 positions: a center position, which I would probably define as "rest", to which it remains when no force is applied, and the switch may be rocked either forward (nearer to the tip) or backward (away from the tip). There might possibly be a third position that might be defined, because the light on the top of the tablet itself comes on solid when the tip of the pen touches it, and that might possibly be defined as a third button, sort of mimicing a 3 button mouse. I understand from company literature that the tablet allows 1024 levels of force gradient, to select differing widths of brushes in applications such as gimp. Like I siad, the tablet has a green LED which is mounted at the top center of the tablet. The writing area is 8 inches wide by 6 inches tall, and is covered by a translucent piece of fairly heavy (maybe 10 mil?) plastic. I noted no spares for this in the package. They will probably sell replacements for this covering, as it would be a very natural place for a particular application to emblazon a series of hot areas for special input.. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHr0Nwz62J6PPcoOkRAq9pAJ92xZdlAisXsYt/WfxofaEegoij4QCghOXF 3I8TvLXiefVJKK4X+ztRvms= =Ezlg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
