G sync and mice polling rates

[SAMURAIWARRIOR13]

I am having trouble find mice with a true 1000hz polling rate so my question is,
Is 1000hz polling rate really worth it for 1080p g-sync 144hz?
I don't think I will use ULMB so will 500hz really be that much worse then 1000hz for those specs?
Is the polling rate as important as say adjustable weight, comfort, programmable buttons, etc.
I see mice like the G502 Proteus or SteelSeries Rival 600 and they seem great but I don't think they have a true 1000z polling rate so idk what to do lol.

What do you mean true 1000hz? both of those mice do 1000hz.

Is it worth using a 1000hz? It's very difficult to notice the difference between 500hz and 1000hz and most of it comes down to micro stuttering effect that is caused by a 500hz pollingrate on a 144hz screen shown here:

There is pretty much no reason to use 500hz, you get less latency and less 'stuttering' using a higher hz.

1000Hz polling rate is a noticeable improvement over 500Hz at 144Hz G-Sync.

If you use G-SYNC, then yes.

1000Hz does help G-SYNC.

See Blur Busters Mouse Guide.

I thought SteelSeries Rival 600 was already 1000 Hz. Where did you read that they didn't do 1000 Hz?

Most modern gaming mice already do 1000 Hz today.

Well I heard it had hiccups at 1000hz see here:

As for if it can't hit a stable 1000hz polling rate I don't think I heard anywhere that specifically said that the SteelSeries Rival 600 can't do 1000hz.
But I have read on sites like reddit and others that people have a heard time getting there mice to work properly at 1000hz polling rate see here:

Maybe I should just ask someone who owns a SteelSeries Rival 600 to do a polling test?

I believe that most of the confusion comes from the fact people believed that high polling rates will cause more jitteyness as you will get more noise from a higher frequency signal. Idk a good way to explain it but you will always get a cleaner LOOKING signal if you average your results out.

It's like when you use 12,000dpi and try and draw a line, you will see a lot more imperfections and bumps in your drawing compared to a 800dpi line. But they are the same line just one has more samples.
