Keyboards, mice & input drivers

Input drivers cover touchpads, keyboards, mice and pens. Plain USB keyboards and mice run on Windows' own drivers - laptop touchpads are the real story here, because gestures, scrolling and sensitivity live in the ELAN, Synaptics and laptop-maker packages this category collects from official sources.

Touchpad not working

About keyboards, mice & input drivers

The most common trouble is the touchpad after an update or a reinstall: the cursor moves, but gestures, two-finger scrolling and the settings page are gone. That means a basic driver took the place of the branded one - the ELAN or Synaptics package for your model brings it all back.

A completely dead touchpad is more often a toggle than a driver: most laptops have an Fn key combination or a switch in Settings that disables it, and checking that costs nothing compared to reinstalls.
