> ... I would still perceive the pen as being a single "pen" type even when flipped. I completely agree that from the usability standpoint, it should behave as a single pen. But the "active button state" is what gives me worries, see below... > Whether it's a flipped pen (like the Wacom stylus) or the pen in the same orientation but with the eraser button pressed (like on the Surface) seems more of a skeuomorphic gimmick / usability issue to me...the end result is still that the user wants to erase something with their pen. Again, I agree that for both cases, the user _wants_ to erase something. The follow-up action is more important here: when should the user _start_ to erase something? I argue that erasing while hovering seems too destructive, erasing should start only when the pen is touching the surface. -- GitHub Notification of comment by mustaqahmed Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/134#issuecomment-242484361 using your GitHub account
