Comment (by elypter):
MouseEvent.which and MouseEvent.metaKey could reveal hardware specific
buttons like รถ
WheelEvent.deltaY and WheelEvent.deltaZ could reveal hardware because not
every device has them.
not revealing the pointing device at all is difficult if the movement can
be tracked. touchscreens jump mouses move pen tablets move or jump and
touchpads and balls move,stop,move. x/y could only be revealed if the
cursor isnt moving but i dont know if this could be circumventd with tons
of hidden mouse over events.
