Introduction

The Universal Pointer Device Driver (UPDD) is a comprehensive driver suite engineered to seamlessly integrate touch screens, pens, tablets, and whiteboards across all major operating systems.

Currently shipping with release 7 as the latest version, with release V6 also available for legacy support.

UPDD becomes essential when:

  1. Touch does not work natively in the operating system

  2. Native touch works but has issues

  3. Native touch does not support multi-monitor setup or configuration

  4. Native touch does not support rotated monitors

  5. Support needed for old touch technology, such as serial or non-HID USB devices

  6. UPDD offers specialised touch features and utilities

  7. Implementation of direct touch support within applications via software interfaces

Supported hardware:

  1. HID USB

  2. non-HID USB

  3. serial devices

  4. i2c devices (Windows only)

Supported Operating systems:

  1. Windows XP – 11

  2. macOS 10.7 – 10.13 Intel (UPDD V6)

  3. macOS 10.14 and above (Universal binary, Intel and Silicon)

  4. Linux

  5. Android

Operating system interfaces:

  1. Windows – post data on HID (touch), Mouse (true mouse emulation) or Pen interface

  2. macOS – post data as gestures (mimic trackpad), tablet, pen or mouse

  3. Linux – post data as touch (uinput), mouse (X)

  4. Android - post data as touch (uinput), mouse (X)
