1. A computer-implemented method of managing communication with an input device, wherein communication with the device is switchable between first and second communication modes, the method comprising:

  • providing a code value to the input device when the input device is in the first mode of communication;

    receiving, from the input device when in the second mode of communication, an authentication value;

    authenticating the input device by evaluating a relationship between the authentication value and the code value; and

    limiting a functionality of the input device based on a determination that the authentication value does not properly correspond to the code value.
