    3) Windows 11 “Precision Touchpad” vs Synaptics legacy drivers

    • Windows “Precision Touchpad” is Microsoft’s standardized driver interface. When a touchpad uses the Precision driver, Windows handles gestures natively with consistent behavior and frequent OS-level improvements.
    • Synaptics drivers may either implement the Precision spec or use their own driver stack. A Synaptics driver that supports Precision typically delivers the smoothest integration with Windows 11 gestures.
    • Legacy/non-Precision Synaptics drivers can still offer extra tuning options but may not integrate perfectly with Windows gesture updates.
