 mangement. Its usage is not well defined. To be addressed later.
 
+Device properties:
+=================
+
+INPUT_PROP_POINTER:
+------------------
+
+There does not exist a one to one mapping between the device
+coordinates and screen coordinates. This property only has meaning for
+non-touch based input such as a pen or an eraser.
+
+INPUT_PROP_DIRECT:
+------------------
+
+The device coordinates can be directly mapped to screen coordinates
+(i.e. the opposite of INPUT_PROP_POINTER) This property only has
+meaning for touch-based input. An example would be a touchscreen.
+
+INPUT_PROP_BUTTONPAD:
+--------------------
+
+The device has one or more physical buttons beneath the active surface
+area.  This means that you can generate button clicks by pressing down
+on the trackpad area. Examples include aluminium body MacBook
+trackpads and Synaptics clickpads.
+
+INPUT_PROP_SEMI_MT:
+------------------
+
+The device is a semi multitouch device. This means that it does not
+provide proper touch locations; it only reports the total number of
+touches and a bounding box that is defined by two of the
+touches. There is no way to know which two touches the device chooses
+to report.
+
 Guidelines:
 ==========
 The guidelines below ensure proper single-touch and multi-finger functionality.
