Basically title. With touchscreen AIOs, laptops, and smaller PCs, the Windows 10 / Metro / Windows Store version of Roblox also returns TouchEnabled, which isn't an issue; it just makes specific mobile compatibility more difficult for me. I've tried searching Wiki, found nothing. Didn't really search every spot and cranny though, so I figured I'd ask before continuing.

Out of all the services it was in, of course it had to be the only one I expected it not to be. Thanks.

Wait a moment, you can only access this via CoreScript. Sooo is there another way or am I using this wrong?

You can't check the device that somebody is on as far as I know.

Yay.. so I'm back to checking if the device ### ##### ### doesn't have a keyboard. Why is this natively supported via CoreScripts but not available to developers? I'm sad.

^didnt read your full post, also check if screen resolution is lower than the average pc, you should get accurate results
