Device drivers are sets of software instructions that control the interface between a computer and a connected peripheral device. Device drivers tell your machine what the device is, what the device does, and all the other instructions needed for proper operation. For instance, Microsoft Windows does not ship with a specific device driver set for all the features in your new Logitech keyboard that has custom buttons.
