看看这篇文章，它给出了一个非常好的代码片段，告诉你当检测到触摸设备时该怎么做，或者如果touchstart事件被调用了该怎么做:

$(function(){
  if(window.Touch) {
    touch_detect.auto_detected();
  } else {
    document.ontouchstart = touch_detect.surface;
  }
}); // End loaded jQuery
var touch_detect = {
  auto_detected: function(event){
    /* add everything you want to do onLoad here (eg. activating hover controls) */
    alert('this was auto detected');
    activateTouchArea();
  },
  surface: function(event){
    /* add everything you want to do ontouchstart here (eg. drag & drop) - you can fire this in both places */
    alert('this was detected by touching');
    activateTouchArea();
  }
}; // touch_detect
function activateTouchArea(){
  /* make sure our screen doesn't scroll when we move the "touchable area" */
  var element = document.getElementById('element_id');
  element.addEventListener("touchstart", touchStart, false);
}
function touchStart(event) {
  /* modularize preventing the default behavior so we can use it again */
  event.preventDefault();
}

你可以安装modernizer并使用一个简单的触摸事件。这是非常有效的，工作在每一个设备上，我已经测试了它包括窗户表面!

我已经创建了一个jsFiddle

function isTouchDevice(){
    if(Modernizr.hasEvent('touchstart') || navigator.userAgent.search(/Touch/i) != -1){
         alert("is touch");
            return true;
         }else{
            alert("is not touch");
            return false;
    }
}

jQuery扩展支持对象:

jQuery.support.touch = 'ontouchend' in document;

现在你可以在任何地方检查它，像这样:

if( jQuery.support.touch )
   // do touch stuff

试图检测触控的最大“陷阱”是同时支持触控和触控板/鼠标的混合设备。即使你能够正确地检测用户的设备是否支持触摸，你真正需要做的是检测用户当前使用的输入设备。这里有一份关于这个挑战的详细报告和可能的解决方案。

基本上，判断用户是触摸屏幕还是使用鼠标/触控板的方法是在页面上注册touchstart和mouseover事件:

document.addEventListener('touchstart', functionref, false) // on user tap, "touchstart" fires first
document.addEventListener('mouseover', functionref, false) // followed by mouse event, ie: "mouseover"

触摸动作会触发这两个事件，尽管前者(touchstart)在大多数设备上总是先触发。因此，依靠这个可预测的事件序列，您可以创建一种机制，动态地向文档根添加或删除一个can-touch类，以反映当前用户在文档上的输入类型:

;(function(){
    var isTouch = false //var to indicate current input type (is touch versus no touch) 
    var isTouchTimer 
    var curRootClass = '' //var indicating current document root class ("can-touch" or "")
     
    function addtouchclass(e){
        clearTimeout(isTouchTimer)
        isTouch = true
        if (curRootClass != 'can-touch'){ //add "can-touch' class if it's not already present
            curRootClass = 'can-touch'
            document.documentElement.classList.add(curRootClass)
        }
        isTouchTimer = setTimeout(function(){isTouch = false}, 500) //maintain "istouch" state for 500ms so removetouchclass doesn't get fired immediately following a touch event
    }
     
    function removetouchclass(e){
        if (!isTouch && curRootClass == 'can-touch'){ //remove 'can-touch' class if not triggered by a touch event and class is present
            isTouch = false
            curRootClass = ''
            document.documentElement.classList.remove('can-touch')
        }
    }
     
    document.addEventListener('touchstart', addtouchclass, false) //this event only gets called when input type is touch
    document.addEventListener('mouseover', removetouchclass, false) //this event gets called when input type is everything from touch to mouse/ trackpad
})();

我认为最好的方法是:

var isTouchDevice =
    (('ontouchstart' in window) ||
    (navigator.maxTouchPoints > 0) ||
    (navigator.msMaxTouchPoints > 0));
if(!isTouchDevice){
    /* Code for touch device /*
}else{
    /* Code for non touch device */
}

我们尝试了modernizr实现，但检测触摸事件不再一致(IE 10有触摸事件在windows桌面，IE 11工作，因为已经放弃触摸事件和添加指针api)。

所以我们决定优化网站作为一个触摸网站，只要我们不知道用户有什么输入类型。这比任何其他解决方案都更可靠。

我们的研究表明，大多数桌面用户在点击之前会将鼠标移到屏幕上，所以我们可以检测到他们，并在他们能够点击或悬停任何东西之前改变他们的行为。

这是我们代码的简化版本:

var isTouch = true;
window.addEventListener('mousemove', function mouseMoveDetector() {
    isTouch = false;
    window.removeEventListener('mousemove', mouseMoveDetector);
});
