+# 2.5.1 Pointer Gestures
+
+- Level: A
+- Guideline: 2.5 Input Modalities
+- Principle: 2 Operable
+
+## What it is
+
+All functionality that uses multipoint or path-based gestures for operation can be operated with a single pointer without a path-based gesture, unless a multipoint or path-based gesture is essential.
+
+## How to test
+
+- Check: All functionality that uses multipoint or path-based gestures for operation can be operated with a single pointer without a path-based gesture, unless a multipoint or path-based gesture is essential.
+- Use the sufficient techniques below as acceptable methods when applicable.
+- Confirm none of the common failures apply.
+
+## Sufficient techniques (W3C)
+
+- G215: Providing controls to achieve the same result as path based or multipoint gestures
+- G216: Providing single point activation for a control slider
+
+## Common failures (W3C)
+
+- F105: Failure of Success Criterion 2.5.1 due to providing functionality via a path-based gesture without simple pointer alternative
+
+## Notes
+
+- Note: This requirement applies to web content that interprets pointer actions (i.e., this does not apply to actions that are required to operate the user agent or assistive technology).
