To clarify the current behavior: - for Wacom-style pen with eraser at the other end / with stylus flipped, the eraser end itself is pressure sensitive just like the regular tip. hovering the pen (even when flipped) over the digitizer surface registers no active buttons; once you touch the eraser tip to the digitizer, you get `buttons==32` and the relevant `pressure`, so this scenario is not a concern I'd say (as I'd posit this is the same behavior as any other pens that require the user to flip to erase...the erase button itself is only pressed/registered once it touches the digitizer surface) - testing the Surface pen, where eraser is an actual button, it seems that somewhere (in the device itself, or the driver) there's some cleverness built-in: when hovering the pen, I can press the eraser button and no `buttons` are registered. only if i keep the eraser button pressed when then touching the actual screen do i get `buttons==32`; so once again, this scenario is not a concern. question is: are there any other types of pen/stylus with an eraser button where pressing the eraser button in mid-air DOES actually register as a button press? these would be the only scenario that's of concern -- GitHub Notification of comment by patrickhlauke Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/134#issuecomment-242518855 using your GitHub account
