Synaptics Integrated USB TouchPad Driver

The Synaptics Integrated USB TouchPad driver helps Windows communicate with your touchpad so you can move the pointer, click, and use supported touch controls. It is intended for users setting up Windows, restoring a missing touchpad, or troubleshooting input problems that may be caused by an incorrect or outdated driver.

Key Features

• Essential touchpad operation: Supports pointer movement, tapping, and button input on compatible Synaptics Integrated USB TouchPad hardware.
• Device-specific settings: May provide options for sensitivity, scrolling, and tap behavior, depending on your laptop model and driver package.
• Supported gesture controls: Enables gestures available for your particular touchpad; features vary by hardware and Windows version.
• Windows compatibility: Driver packages are available for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a release that matches both your device and operating system.

How to Install Synaptics Integrated USB TouchPad Driver

1. Confirm your device and Windows version. Open Device Manager and locate the touchpad under “Mice and other pointing devices” or “Human Interface Devices.” Check its hardware IDs if the device name is unclear, and confirm whether Windows is 32-bit or 64-bit.
2. Select the correct package. Before starting a Synaptics Integrated USB TouchPad driver download for Windows, verify the supported operating systems and hardware. Choose the latest version compatible with your computer, preferably one supplied or approved by its manufacturer. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 11 is not listed as supported here; do not assume a Windows 10 package will work.
3. Prepare for installation. Save your work and keep a USB mouse available in case touchpad input stops temporarily. If choosing a free download, check the package source and avoid installers that require unrelated software.
4. Install the driver. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary, then run the included setup program and follow its instructions. If no installer is provided, use Device Manager’s “Update driver” option to browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Restart and test. Reboot if prompted, then check pointer movement, clicks, and scrolling. Review the available touchpad settings to adjust behavior to your preference.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible update addresses a problem or improves device support. A newer release is not automatically better for older hardware, so check compatibility before replacing a working driver. If an update causes issues, use Device Manager’s “Roll Back Driver” option when available.
