--- Comment #7 from Maciej Stachowiak <mjs at apple.com> ---
None of these media queries can tell you if input was actually performed with a mouse, rather than with touch. On an iPad, the best they can do is tell you that a mouse or trackpad was attached, and thus potentially could have been the source of input.

For truly optional hover effects that are desired for pointer input but not mouse, the only method I know of to do them conditionally is to build them using pointer events. You can use the `pointerenter`/`pointerleave` pair, or the `pointerover`/`pointerout` pair, and then look at the `pointerType` property. https://www.w3.org/TR/pointerevents2/#dom-pointerevent-pointertype

It would be nice if there was a way to use pure CSS to get hover that only reacts to mouse events, and not to touch event hover simulation, but I don't think there is a way.
