What is the name for a torture device that uses electricity to make the victim suffer? Not as powerful as an electric chair that kills the victim outright but something which makes him suffer for a long period of time.

Cattle prod
As the precursor of stun guns, cattle prods also have a wide range of voltage with enough amperage to operate in the same manner as a stun gun does against humans. A stun gun is nothing more than a beefed up cattle prod and both can be used on humans or animals by design.

It is picana; the picana is the device used to give an electric shock during electrical torture.It is more painful than burning but unlike burning it does not leave scars and unlike other electric devices it does not stun or kill.
Being a torture victim myself (April-May 1981) and a many-years Amnesty-International-member activist against torture am "familiar" with these issues if you will.In a Jungian synchronicity , during my study in USA when I was still having sleep disturbance due to this profound experience, that good psychiatrist I consulted turned out to be a Jewish survivor of a Nazi concentration camp.

You are probably referring to a stun gun:
- A weapon designed to stun or temporarily immobilize a victim, especially by delivering a high-voltage electric shock.

It could also be a taser:
Which can be used up close but also from a distance where it shoots 2 probes.
Or it can be a MacBook Pro.
Which makes the victim suffer by:
- a touchbar without tactile feedback
- a trackpad that clicks horrible
- a trackpad that drags horrible, see this official apple presentation (1 minute):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRPlLV0cmb8
- a trackpad that is too large so you keep messing things up with your handpalm
- keys that press horrible
- having almost no ports
- no way to replace hardware
- a reflective screen
- a ridiculous price
- having to pay extra for more then one year warranty
- clicking 'remind me tommorow' for the available updates everyday
- horrible support
