# Abstract
The features in this specification extend or modify those found in Pointer Events, a W3C Recommendation that describes events and related interfaces for handling hardware agnostic pointer input from devices including a mouse, pen, touchscreen, etc. For compatibility with existing mouse based content, this specification also describes a mapping to fire Mouse Events for other pointer device types.

# Status
This specification is an update to [PointerEvents2] which was shipped broadly by Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and Mozilla Firefox. Level 3 includes editorial clarifications and new features that facilitate more use cases, in an effort to enable wider developer and browser adoption.
