In response to the sensor meeting detecting a second contact enter on the housing, the emitter sends a second sign together with info relating to a course of a power exerted on the housing from the second contact enter.
In different phrases, it’s for a mouse able to offering improved person experiences with a number of enter modes with out the necessity for extra elements and transferring elements.
