For example (sorry, can't run tree, since I don't have a machine available
with these devices) :
ls -lha /dev/input/by-id
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-08-25 12:44 usb-Tablet_ISD-V4-event-stylus ->
../event6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-08-25 12:44 usb-Tablet_ISD-V4-event-touch ->
../event7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-08-25 12:44 usb-Tablet_ISD-V4-stylus ->
../mouse2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 2008-08-25 12:44 usb-Tablet_ISD-V4-touch ->
../mouse3

Sorry, I don't know. These devices are touchscreen devices.

Because it's the stylus device for this driver, it's easier for the user to
identify the correct device with this naming.

The *-stylus devices handle the stylus and eraser input devices and the touch
devices only the touchscreen device. But both are from the same USB device.
