I need something computer related... For graphic design... instead of a mouse you can use like this pen I've seen. For graphic design espiecally. Anyone know what these are called. Obviously in Photoshop its hard to draw using your mouse...

 

umm...a graphics tablet?

tigerdirect.ca has 'em for around 150

i personally have one of these: http://www.adesso.com/products_detail.asp?productid=275

Yeah, a tablet is what you're after. One of the most popular tablet manufacturers is Wacom. They have a very nice variety of tablets to suit your application and budget.

 

I have a really cheap one called "XP Pen" that cost me like $20. It works, but the nicer ones have all kinds of nifty features.

 

I got a Wacom tablet for Christmas, I think its pretty cool. One of my dogs chewed up the freakin pen though, so I need a new pen, and they're $30 by themselves!

Not sure HOW he got the pen, either, I coulda swore it was out of reach from doggy teeth.

 

Thanks Guys!!

 

Well if you do anything 3D related a spacemouse is recommended.
