Abstract

In one or more embodiments, an information handling system may include a pointing device that communicates interaction data via a first bus via a first data format and may include a controller that receives the interaction data via the first bus and transforms the interaction data into a second data format and communicates the interaction data to a second bus via the second data format. If a status of a resource associated with the pointing device is queried, the controller may be instructed to cease transforming the interaction data from the pointing device, permitting another device to receive the interaction data and provide the interaction data to a processor of the information handling system. As the other device receives the interaction data and provides the interaction data to the processor, additional and/or full functionality of the pointing device may be realized and/or accomplished.
