Mir does not expose what type of device is being used. Certain toolkits differentiate between a mouse event and a finger event, or possible gesture events. The android backend exposes a few more types of tools:

typedef enum {
   mir_motion_tool_type_unknown = 0,
   mir_motion_tool_type_finger = 1,
   mir_motion_tool_type_stylus = 2,
   mir_motion_tool_type_mouse = 3,
   mir_motion_tool_type_eraser = 4
} MirMotionToolType;

Is the new proposed different tool types, at lease the amount that androids backend exposes.
