How can I detect only mouseover and not touchstart i IE?

Question

I have both mouseover and touchstart event attached to an element. I want the mouse hover to occur only when the user is using mouse, and touchstart to occur only when user taps on it on a touch screen. In IE, I use pointerdown event, but this captures both of them. There is also MSGestureStart that can detect touchstart, but mouseover still fires. How can I differentiate mousehover and tocuhstart in IE?
