Is there a way to lock mouse polling rate to maximum at ALL times?

Is there a way to lock mouse polling rate to maximum at ALL times?

Post by lizardpeter » 20 Nov 2022, 19:43

All mice that I have encountered appear to reduce the polling rate when idle and not in motion. Is there a way to lock the polling rate to the maximum at all times and to never have it fluctuate? In particular, does anyone know if this is possible on the Razer Viper 8K?
i9 9900k | RTX 2080 Ti | 32 GB 4x8GB B-Die 3600 MT/s CL16 | XV252QF 390 Hz 1080p | AW2518H 240 Hz 1080p | PG279Q 144 Hz 1440p

Polling rate IS static. Programs like MouseTester measure deltas. 1000 Hz example:
- 1st ms: data received -> 1 ms / 1000 Hz on the graph
- 2nd ms: data received -> 1 ms / 1000 Hz on the graph
- 3rd ms: no fresh data from the mouse
- 4th ms: still no fresh data
- 5th ms: data received -> 3 ms / 333.33 Hz on the graph
- 6th ms: no fresh data
- 7th ms: data received -> 2 ms / 500 Hz on the graph
