PEP is a JavaScript polyfill that implements the W3C Pointer Events API in browsers lacking native support, unifying mouse, touch, and pen input into a single event model. The project is now archived and in emeritus status at the OpenJS Foundation.

Use cases

• support pointer events in older browsers without native support
• unify mouse, touch, and pen input handling in one event system
• build cross-device touch and gesture interactions on the web
• handle pointerdown/pointermove/pointerup events uniformly
• add touch-action based input control to web elements

When to choose

• you must support legacy browsers without native Pointer Events
• you want a single unified event model across mouse, touch, and pen input

When to avoid

• your target browsers already support Pointer Events natively (most modern browsers do)
• you need an actively maintained or supported dependency
• you are starting a new project in 2021 or later
