Home / Driver Updater / Mice & keyboards

Mouse, keyboard or gamepad acting up?

A cursor that stutters, extra buttons that stopped working, a touchpad without gestures, or a controller that games don't see - input devices depend on drivers too, and the right package for the exact model, Windows version and architecture is easy to miss by hand. A free scan does the matching for you.

Does any of this sound familiar?

Cursor lags or freezes

The mouse stutters, skips or freezes for a moment - and it's not the battery or the mousepad.

Extra buttons do nothing

Side buttons, media keys or touchpad gestures stopped responding - features that live in the driver, not in Windows.

Broke after upgrading Windows

Everything worked on the previous Windows version; after the upgrade the device acts up or lost its settings.

Games don't see the controller

The gamepad is connected and charged, but games treat it as if it were not there.

A free scan can identify the installed hardware and show available driver information.

Frequently asked questions

My mouse works without any driver. Why would I need one?

Basic movement uses the driver built into Windows. Extra buttons, adjustable DPI, touchpad gestures and gamepad support in games rely on the device's own driver - that is the part the scan checks.

Does this cover wireless mice and keyboards?

Yes. Devices connected over a USB receiver or Bluetooth appear in Windows like any other input device, and their driver state can be checked the same way.

Does the device need to be connected during the scan?

Yes - the scan looks at the devices Windows can currently see. Connect the mouse, keyboard or controller before scanning so its driver state can be checked.

Will anything change without my permission?

No. Nothing changes during the scan. Driver updates are applied only after you review the results and choose what to update.

Can I review or skip individual updates?

Yes. Each detected item can be reviewed, applied or skipped individually. Backup and restore options are available before updates are applied, so a previous driver version can be restored if necessary.

What exactly is downloaded?

The button downloads Outbyte Driver Updater, a Windows desktop application. The website itself does not scan your computer in the browser - the check runs in the application after you install and start it.

When is a license required?

The scan and results are free. A license is required only if you choose to download and apply the available updates. Current pricing and license terms are shown before purchase.

Supports Windows 11 and 10 · Uninstall anytime via Settings → Apps · If no updates are found, the scan still shows the current driver state of your devices.
