What is Polling Rate?
Polling rate is the frequency at which a mouse reports its position to the computer. Measured in Hz (Hertz), a 1000Hz polling rate means the mouse sends position data 1000 times per second. Higher polling rates provide smoother and more accurate mouse movement.
Common Polling Rates
- 125Hz - Default setting (8ms interval)
- 250Hz - Medium setting (4ms interval)
- 500Hz - Gaming mouse default (2ms interval)
- 1000Hz - High-performance gaming (1ms interval)
Measurement Tips
- Move your mouse quickly and smoothly for accurate measurement
- Wired mice connected directly to USB ports are most accurate
- Wireless mice may show variations depending on connection quality
- Browser and OS limitations may result in lower measured values
