The Event interface has a timeStamp attribute:
timeStamp of type DOMTimeStamp, readonly
Used to specify the time at which the event was created in
milliseconds relative to 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Due to the fact
that some systems may not provide this information the value of
timeStamp may be not available for all events. When not available,
the value is 0.

So I guess that is a “usually available”.
