Mouse poling rate unstabe

Post by popugbird » 12 Feb 2024, 14:35

So i have few mouses: xtrfy m42, starlight 12, model 0-, g102, g305.
All usb power savings windows/bios disabled.
Mouse plugged to different usb controller that mapped to different cpu core with Interrupt Affinity Policy Tool.

And when i go to mouse rate checker my poling rate depends on how fast i move mouse. Slow movements provide 300-400 hz (this moves simmilar to tracking enemys in apex/kovaak scenarios etc) and 1000hz achived only by fast moves.

Is this possible to force mouse works at 1000 hz all the time?

Is this not the norm? Why do you think this is a problem?

Because slow moves provide you low poling rate that means mouse sends less data to cpu and u have higher input lag in almost every scenarion other than doing 480 flicks.

But do you think there are people that have 1000hz while doing small mouse movements? AFAIK there are none.

but shouldnt it be that way that the mouse is constantly reporting at a 1000hz so that the mouse always tracks with the same amount of information no matter if you track 1cm or 10 its should report the moved route/ track even when you dont move it should use 1000hz to

but maybe this is wrong because
a monitor refresehs also every 144times a second and when your frames dont match you get tearing but on the other hand if you have freesync it refresehes with the amount of pictures been send from the gpu if its in the hz/frames range of the monitor
Maybe thats the reason why the poling rate isnt constant at all

In my opinion? Yes, I would also think that it would be better for the mouse to report 1000hz on every movement.

But I'm not good with the technical side to this so I can't answer why it is like that.

I don't think testing polling rate with a website is reliable. The browser you are using may handle polling rate in a wrong way or something, test with mousetester instead.

Just increase your dpi and that will fix it.

Are you both saying, that you don't have this "problem"? If so, I'd like to see proof of some kind.
