Frequently Asked Questions (Mouse Polling Rate & 8000Hz USB Jitter Benchmark)
10-Item Technical FAQ & PointerEvent Telemetry Troubleshooting
What is mouse polling rate?
Mouse polling rate is how frequently (in Hz) your mouse reports its position to your computer per second.
What is the difference between 125Hz, 1000Hz, and 8000Hz polling rate?
125Hz reports every 8ms; 1000Hz reports every 1ms; 8000Hz reports every 0.125ms, delivering ultra-low click-to-photon latency.
How does the online polling rate test work?
Calculates microsecond timestamp deltas between consecutive PointerEvent dispatches to derive real-time Hz and jitter standard deviation.
What causes mouse polling rate jitter or instability?
Causes include CPU bottlenecking, USB hub bandwidth sharing, high background process load, or low battery voltage on wireless mice.
Do 8000Hz gaming mice increase CPU usage?
Yes, processing 8,000 HID reports per second increases CPU interrupt overhead; multi-core processors easily handle high-rate mice.
Is a high polling rate necessary for 240Hz and 360Hz monitors?
Yes, high polling rates eliminate cursor micro-stutter on high-refresh-rate displays by aligning mouse updates with screen refresh frames.
Can wireless gaming mice achieve stable 1000Hz or 4000Hz polling?
Modern 2.4GHz wireless gaming mice achieve stable 1000Hz-4000Hz polling using dedicated USB dongles.
Why does my polling rate drop when moving the mouse slowly?
Some mouse sensors enter power-saving states during slow movements, reducing report dispatch frequency.
How do I export polling rate test telemetry logs?
Click 'Export Passport' to download a cryptographically signed JSON report certifying your mouse polling frequency.
Does this polling rate test require driver installation?
No, 100% browser-native using high-precision PointerEvents APIs.
