Higher DPI and polling rates may be useful, but they're not everything. There's a good chance you'll find yourself decreasing the DPI below the maximum value after buying a pricy gaming mouse. You definitely don't need the mouse with the highest DPI and polling rate settings. These speci...
Does a High Polling Rate Matter? As explained earlier, faster polling rates on your mouse send data to your system at a faster frequency. However, are these improvements even worth it? Well, if you are using a regular non-gaming mouse, it will take eight milliseconds for your data to rea...
Why would all these high refresh rate mice matter when our monitors can't even display them? For instance, if my monitor can only display 240 Hz, and my mouse is performing at 1000 Hz, it already means that 3 out of 4 mouse updates are being skipped by the monitor. What more with...
and its aftermarket receivers. Until fairly recently, 1,000 Hz had been the standard polling rate for gaming mice for years. ButCorsair bumped its Sabre RGB Pro mouse to 8,000 Hz back in 2021. And we've seen a steady trickle of high-end mice jumping on the more respons...
As explained above, saturating the full 4000 Hz polling rate takes quite a bit of mouse movement, and thus isn't typically reached all the time anyway, so most of the time, the benefit in terms of latency compared to 1000 Hz is around 0.5 ms, which is well below the sensory ...
I have been stress testing SDL on Windows with a Razer Viper 8Khz, which is the first 8,000 hz polling rate mouse (most mice are 1,000 hz), and SDL_PumpEvents has poor performance. When the mouse is moved quickly and consistently, SDL's event handling in SDL_PumpEvents slows my test...
Also, I hear that a lot of mouses these days have an artificial cap on the polling rate, is there some way to hack it and disable that? Top konchy Posts:14 Joined:11 Dec 2018, 04:54 Re: Polling Rate among Gaming Mice Analysis: 1000hz Is Not Enough ...
