InputDeviceCapabilities: firesTouchEvents property
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The InputDeviceCapabilities.firesTouchEvents
read-only
property returns a boolean value that indicates whether the device dispatches
touch events.
You can use this property to detect mouse events that represent an action that may already have been handled by touch event handlers. This doesn't necessarily mean the device is a touch screen. For example, stylus and mouse devices typically generate touch events on mobile browsers.

const boolean = InputDeviceCapabilities.firesTouchEvents
Returns
A Boolean
Example

myButton.addEventListener("mousedown", (e) => {
if (!e.sourceCapabilities.firesTouchEvents) myButton.classList.add("pressed");
