Let's review our understanding on Selenium first.

Webdriver:

WebDriver drives a browser natively, as a user would, either locally or on a remote machine using the Selenium server, marks a leap forward in terms of browser automation.

Selenium WebDriver refers to both the language bindings and the implementations of the individual browser control code. This is commonly referred to as just WebDriver and its not a class but an INTERFACE.

Selenium WebDriver is a W3C Recommendation

WebDriver is designed as a simple and more concise programming interface.
WebDriver is a compact object-oriented API.
It drives the browser effectively.
The latest release is Selenium 4.

Now let's understand Pen Actions.

Pen actions

A representation of a pen stylus kind of pointer input for interacting with a web page.

Chromium Only

A Pen is a type of pointer input that has most of the same behavior as a mouse, but can also have event properties unique to a stylus. Additionally, while a mouse has 5 buttons, a pen has 3 equivalent button states:

0 — Touch Contact (the default; equivalent to a left click)
2 — Barrel Button (equivalent to a right click)
5 — Eraser Button (currently unsupported by drive

Using a Pen

Selenium v4.2

WebElement pointerArea = driver.findElement(By.id("pointerArea"));
new Actions(driver)
.setActivePointer(PointerInput.Kind.PEN, "default pen")
.moveToElement(pointerArea)
.clickAndHold()
.moveByOffset(2, 2)
.release()
.perform();

What is Page Loading Strategy In Selenium?

Adding Pointer Event Attributes

Selenium v4.2

WebElement pointerArea = driver.findElement(By.id("pointerArea"));
PointerInput pen = new PointerInput(PointerInput.Kind.PEN, "default pen");
PointerInput.PointerEventProperties eventProperties = PointerInput.eventProperties()
.setTiltX(-72)
.setTiltY(9)
.setTwist(86);
PointerInput.Origin origin = PointerInput.Origin.fromElement(pointerArea);

Sequence actionListPen = new Sequence(pen, 0)
.addAction(pen.createPointerMove(Duration.ZERO, origin, 0, 0))
.addAction(pen.createPointerDown(0))
.addAction(pen.createPointerMove(Duration.ZERO, origin, 2, 2, eventProperties))
.addAction(pen.createPointerUp(0));

((RemoteWebDriver) driver).perform(Collections.singletonList(actionListPen));
