Yeah those look correct. There's a noticeable using it though. I guess you're just not seeing it as well or you have some other hardware issues masking it. It's much easier to see changes in latency when you're on properly tuned high end equipment.

Why do you have buffer value 0 on mouse and keyboard?

Because I could not measure any improvements, so @Eonds asked me to try this.

Was the same as before.
I want to remember that I have also modified my kb and mouse plus usb ports to run at 1000hz can that be why I dont feel these tweaks?

Would 1000hz be better then this tweak or wise-versa

I'm not sure exactly how that program works. Get a cosair k65 mini (8khz polling rate + 4khz scan rate, & Razer 8khz and you'll be fine.

Tried what? A better mouse and keyboard doesn't make your pc worse, yes the polling rate is more "taxing" on cpu resources but if you have a properly optimized os then it's not an issue.
