What Synaptics touchpad driver is
Precision touchpad software for Synaptics controllers, restoring gestures, palm rejection and three-finger actions that Windows installs only as a bare pointing device.

Input device driver and configuration software for buttons, sensitivity and per-app profiles. This listing records the publisher’s current build, for Windows 11 and Windows 10. The download link was last opened and checked on 04 Nov 2026.
Who needs it
Install it when the device shows up with a generic or missing driver in Device Manager, after a clean reinstall of Windows, or when a game or program asks for a newer input driver than Windows Update offers. This is the build Synaptics publishes; a laptop from an original equipment maker may need the matched version on that maker's support page instead.
How to install it
Download the package from synaptics.com, close anything using the device, then run the installer as an administrator and restart. Windows may fall back to a generic driver for a moment during the restart — that is normal.
Where the download comes from
PC Updater hosts no files. The button above opens synaptics.com, and this page only summarises what Synaptics publishes: version, supported Windows releases, package size and requirements. If a page ever presents itself as a mirror of Synaptics, close it and use the official download instead.
Before you install
- Check whether the laptop ships a Precision driver
- Install through Device Manager if setup refuses

Common questions
Is Synaptics touchpad driver free?
Yes. Synaptics publishes it at no charge, and the download button opens synaptics.com rather than an ad-funded mirror. A few publishers ask for a short form before the download starts — that form lives on their site, not here.
Which Windows versions does Synaptics touchpad driver support?
The listing covers Windows 11 and Windows 10. The listing is current, so this is the version to install unless your PC maker ships its own tuned build.
Do I still need it if Windows Update already installed a driver?
Only if Windows Update left a generic driver, an older branch, or a device flagged in Device Manager. Compare the version listed above with the one showing in Device Manager before installing.
Is Synaptics touchpad driver safe to install?
The file comes from Synaptics's own server. Check the digital signature on the downloaded file before running it, and treat any copy offered by a third-party download site as untrusted.
