I rather meant the advices about the naming of the device for example.
You also probably want to use a definition that doesn't have FIXME in it
as the example ;)

Ha, I didn't know that. We need to create some new styli for those
devices then.

Peter, Jason, any advice on what tool IDs we could use for those?

It's really the same problem. My Bluetooth graphire-based tablet has 2
buttons, and an eraser. We need separate styli definition for them.

We don't count the tips. So a stylus always has one button, and an
eraser always has one button. We would use HasEraser=false for the
stylus though.
