Mouse driver
Updated: 09/25/2024 by Computer Hope
A mouse driver is a piece of software that enables a computer to communicate with a mouse. Today, most computer operating systems support basic mouse functions without any mouse driver or software needing to be installed. However, if your mouse has programmable buttons or additional features a mouse driver or software needs to be installed to get those features.
Tip
If mouse drivers are detected as missing, most operating systems download and install them automatically.
