Hi all, good news! Reviving this thread because we have accomplished: 1. TAG Review Completion: Extending the PointerEvent with Unique DeviceId Attribute · Issue #880 · w3ctag/design-reviews (github.com) <https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/880> Resolution: Satisfied 2. WICG Repository for standardization discussions. Link to explainer in WICG Repo: pointer-event-extensions/pointer-event-device-id-explainer.md at main · WICG/pointer-event-extensions (github.com) <https://github.com/WICG/pointer-event-extensions/blob/main/pointer-event-device-id-explainer.md> 3. A PR against the PointerEvent spec with proposed changes: Add deviceId to PointerEvent spec by sahirv · Pull Request #495 · w3c/pointerevents (github.com) <https://github.com/w3c/pointerevents/pull/495/files> We will be waiting for Spec Level 3 to come out before this can be merged; but this provides an official starting point for the standardized description of this feature. Based on the feedback received, I don't anticipate any major changes to the design.
Reviewers, can we please get another review for shipping this feature?
