I think TypeError is also inappropriate. The exceptional scenario includes cases where the argument type is correct (number) but the particular value is not. In general, using ES error types when appropriate makes a lot of sense. But in this case, I don't see an existing ES error that fits. All of the close options would likely cause developer confusion (e.g. pointer Ids have some bounded range or that the methods take something other than a number) as described by Olli and Matt. > (Can code always know the active pointers btw?) With a fairly simply state machine, yes. Pointers become active when pointerdown fires and become inactive when pointerup or pointercancel fire. In the future, we might explore exposing a list of active pointers (but it's not a priority for our group at the moment).
