If the input device may be used freely in three dimensions, consider ABS_Z instead. + - BTN_TOOL_<name> should be set to 1 when the tool comes into detectable + proximity and set to 0 when the tool leaves detectable proximity. + BTN_TOOL_<name> signals the type of tool that is currently detected by the + hardware and is otherwise independent of ABS_DISTANCE and/or BTN_TOUCH. * ABS_MT_<name>: - Used to describe multitouch input events.
