    Our team recently swapped over to the new input system but for some reason we can no longer use the IPointerDownHandler (Or PointerUp).

    When we implement OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData) and attempt to check the eventData.pointerId it always equals 2. Whereas in past we could check for -1 or -2 for left/right click.

    What is the recommended alternative to using IPointerDownHandler?

    I found that using InputButton on the PointerEventData still works. But for some reason pointerId is always == 2

    Same for me, it's 2 for Left, Right or Middle mouse buttons.
    What's more frustrating, on a mobile device, instead of returning a finger id, it returns some very large numbers that are incremented each time you touch and stop touching the screen.
    What is going on?
