+INPUT_PROP_HAPTIC_TOUCHPAD
+--------------------------
+
+The INPUT_PROP_HAPTIC_TOUCHPAD property indicates that device:
+- supports simple haptic auto and manual triggering
+- can differentiate between at least 5 fingers
+- uses correct resolution for the X/Y (units and value)
+- report correct force per touch, and correct units for them (newtons or grams)
+- follows the MT protocol type B
+
+Summing up, such devices follow the MS spec for input devices in
+Win8 and Win8.1, and in addition support the Simple haptic controller HID table,
+and report correct units for the pressure.
+
 Guidelines
