InputObject
An InputObject represents a single user input, such as mouse movement, touches, key presses and more. It is created when an input begins.
The properties of this object vary according the UserInputType. Each kind of input will undergo various changes to its UserInputState. During the lifetime of an input, other properties which further describe the input may change, such as Position and Delta. Keyboard and gamepad button presses will have the KeyCode property set.
Once created at the beginning of an input, the same object persists and is updated until the input ends. As a result, you can track the object's changes using the Changed event as the user changes the input in question. You can also place these objects into a list of active inputs track and interact with the object after it's creation by an event such as UserInputService.InputBegan. This is mostly useful for touch events, as each touch point will have a separate InputObject.
See also:
- ContextActionService, which passes an InputObject to bound action-handling functions
- UserInputService, whose events and functions often use InputObject
- GuiObject, whose events related to user input use InputObject

Summary
Properties
A Vector3 describing the Delta between mouse/joystick movements.
Contains an Enum that describes the kind of input used.
Describes a positional value of this input.
Describes the state of an input being performed, following a specific flow depending on the UserInputType.
Describes the kind of input being performed (mouse, keyboard, gamepad, touch, etc).
Properties
Delta
A Vector3 describing the Delta (change) between mouse/joystick movements.
This is useful when used with the input's position to track the position and movement of the user's mouse/joystick, such as when you're creating custom movement or camera scripts. Consider tracking input object changes using the Instance.Changed event or when user input changes via events such as UserInputService.InputChanged and GuiObject.InputChanged.
Note that an InputObject corresponding to Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 (left click) and Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 (right click) supplied from an InputBegan callback will not have its Delta or Position updated once created, except for when the mouse input ends. In order to get updated deltas for mouse inputs, you must instead reference an InputObject from an InputChanged callback, or call GetMouseDelta(). However, any InputObjects corresponding to touch inputs will have their delta and position updated every frame throughout their lifetime.

Position
This property describes a Vector3 positional value of this input.
For mouse and touch input, this is the screen position of the mouse/touch, described in the X and Y components. The inset applied to GUI elements (such as from the top bar) is accounted for in the position.
For the mouse wheel input, the Z component describes whether the wheel was moved forward (1), backwards (-1), or not at all (0).
For Enum.KeyCode input, this indicates the position of the player's Mouse.
Note that an InputObject corresponding to Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 (left click) and Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 (right click) supplied from an InputBegan callback will not have its Delta or Position updated once created, except for when the mouse input ends. In order to get updated positions for mouse inputs, you must instead reference an InputObject from an InputChanged callback, or call GetMouseLocation(). However, any InputObjects corresponding to touch inputs will have their delta and position updated every frame throughout their lifetime.

UserInputType
UserInputType is a property that describes for what kind of input this InputObject represents, such as mouse, keyboard, touch or gamepad input. It uses the enum of the same name, Enum.UserInputType. See the enum page for a list of all possible values for this property.
