Just realized that @RByers's questions went unanswered. I will draw others attention through my two cents: > Maybe the biggest question here is "should pressing the eraser button be distinguishable from using a pen inverted". I assume there are art use cases where the user does really expect for these to be different operations, right? Does anyone know if apps like Photoshop these differently today? If a pen has both an eraser button and a flipped eraser mode, IMO it's the job of the driver/OS to let us distinguish between them. I think @patrickhlauke once posted a screenshot of Wacom settings which even allows associating a button to "touching the screen", right? An analogous example for mouse: if the OS lets users define simultaneous L+R click as a middle button (Linux used to support this for two button mouse), an WebApp perhaps shouldn't care. > If we did introduce a new "eraser" pointerType, would we also use a different pointerId (and so get a leave/enter pair when the pen is flipped)? Right now, both Edge & Chrome emits a new pointerId if the same pen leaves-then-enters the digitizer range. We can safely do the same for a flipped pen, right? -- GitHub Notification of comment by mustaqahmed Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/134#issuecomment-243898958 using your GitHub account
