I've never maintained a popular drawing program, so I don't know what the typical relationship is between reported pressure and opacity; however, modulating line width with pressure is a near-ubiquitous pattern in tablet-based drawing apps. In fact, the way you know if you're using an app that supports pressure is to press very lightly and see if the line width shrinks. As far as Android and iOS, they are primarily touch-driven UIs, so they largely circumvent the problem of "What pressure should we map mouse events to?" It would be interesting to try an app like [Paper](https://www.fiftythree.com/) on a force-touch iPhone and a legacy iPhone and compare line widths and perceived pressure. -- GitHub Notification of comment by appsforartists Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/issues/147#issuecomment-250227910 using your GitHub account
