From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (05 January 2017) [foldoc]:
pointing device
Any hardware component that allows a user to input
spatial data to a computer. CAD systems and {Graphical User
Interfaces} (GUI) allow the user to control and provide data
to the computer using physical "gestures" - point, click,
and drag - typically by moving a hand-held mouse across
the surface of the physical desktop and activating switches on
the mouse. Movements of the pointing device are echoed on a
graphical representation of a desktop on the screen by
movements of the mouse pointer and other visual changes.
While the most common pointing device by far is a mouse, other
kinds include tracker ball, trackpad, lightpen, various
kinds of digitising tablets which use a stylus, and even a
special "data glove" that translates the user's movements to
computer gestures.
