if you read the event device, you can make a general purpose object.
just read the event, and give it to either seperate outlets 
(type,code,value1,value2) or as list on a single outlet. there is an 
timestamp in the event message also, if needed, that could be given an 
outlet.....

that way it can be used with any event device, mice, tablets, joysticks, 
pens... its then just up to the patch to decode the needed events. one can 
make simple patches for a ready-to-use mouse decoder based on that, for 
example.
