A W3C Recommendation (24 February 2015) defines events and related interfaces for handling hardware agnostic pointer input from devices including a mouse, pen, touchscreen, etc. Essentially letting web pages know when somebody is using something like a touchscreen, or a graphics tablet.

On Windows, IE10+ has this ability, but I haven't found any information about this on Linux environments. Do any browsers in Ubuntu support this yet?

NOTE: There is a Wacom plugin for their tablets but this only works with Wacom and is not standardized.

Can I use pointer events?

Firefox support is disabled by default and only supports mouse input. On Windows only, touch can be enabled with the layers.async-pan-zoom.enabled and dom.w3c_touch_events.enabled flags

None of the other browsers seem to do so at the moment.
