title: isTouchDevice
---
## Summary
Allow external callers (such as UIs) to detect if the active device is considered touch sensitive by KeymanWeb.
## Syntax
```js
keyman.util.isTouchDevice();
```
### Parameters
None.
### Return Value
`boolean`
: `true` if KMW is targetting touch-sensitivity for the device, otherwise `false`.
> [!Note]
> In current versions of KeymanWeb this function will return `false` for touchscreen laptops; current touch support is specialized for mobile phones and tablets.
