Stepper Input (Number Input)

also known as Number input, Spinner input, Quantity selector, Numeric stepper

A stepper input is a small control combining a numeric field with increment and decrement buttons, letting users adjust a value in fixed steps. It is efficient when the expected value is close to a common default. It is ideal for small quantities where typing would be slower.

Don't confuse it with
A stepper input (with +/- buttons) adjusts a number; a stepper/wizard guides you through steps of a task. Unlike a slider it gives precise increments, and unlike a plain number text field it offers tap-to-change buttons.
