For example, a laptop user could respond to answers using a touchpad, touchscreen, or an external mouse. Can we detect which one they are using?

Hi there jwright8 ! Although current functionality doesn't allow for you to capture whether the respondent is using a touchpad, touchscreen, or an external mouse, you can gather information in regards to the type of device they are using.
