🖱️ About Mouse Polling Rate
What is Polling Rate? Polling rate measures how often your mouse reports its position to your computer, measured in Hertz (Hz). A 1000Hz mouse reports its position 1000 times per second.
Common Polling Rates:
- 125Hz: Basic mice - 8ms response time
- 250Hz: Standard mice - 4ms response time
- 500Hz: Gaming mice - 2ms response time
- 1000Hz: High-end gaming mice - 1ms response time
🔧 Low Polling Rate? Try This
• Check USB Port: Use USB 2.0 or 3.0 ports directly on your motherboard, avoid USB hubs
• Update Drivers: Install the latest mouse drivers from the manufacturer
• Mouse Software: Check if your mouse has configuration software to adjust polling rate
• Browser Limitations: Some browsers may cap mouse event frequency
• System Load: Close unnecessary programs that might affect mouse performance
