Is it possible to have a form POST the type of device used on submit?

Question

I'd like to know what type of device users are using when they submit a form on my website.

EDIT: I'm curious about more information than just mobile. iPhone, iPad, Android? Windows? Mac?

Is it possible with some javascript?

You can check the brwser's header to identify the device, there are libraries like http://mobiledetect.net/ — ka_lin, Aug 02 '16 at 06:06
