public class Device
extends GObject

In addition to the normal keyboard and mouse input devices, GTK+ also contains support for extended input devices. In particular, this support is targeted at graphics tablets. Graphics tablets typically return sub-pixel positioning information and possibly information about the pressure and tilt of the stylus. Under X, the support for extended devices is done through the XInput extension. This class represents a generic device, allowing the programmer to configure various aspects of each device.
