How To Use

1. Start Testing

Click the START button to begin. This activates high-frequency tracking inside the page. Keep the pointer in the browser window while the test is running.

2. Move Your Mouse

Move your mouse continuously in circles or side-to-side. The faster and more consistent your movement, the more accurate the polling rate reading will be.

3. Analyze Graph

The blue line represents your real-time polling rate (Hz). A flat, stable line indicates a consistent sensor performance. Drops indicate instability.

4. Scale & Controls

Use the dropdown to set the Max Hz (e.g., 1000Hz or 4000Hz). Use PAUSE to freeze the data or RESET to clear all history.

FAQ & Knowledge

Mouse polling rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), indicates how often your mouse reports its position to the computer. A polling rate of 1000Hz means the mouse sends data 1000 times per second, resulting in a 1 millisecond (ms) delay between reports.

Yes, theoretically. 1000Hz has 1ms latency, while 8000Hz drops it to 0.125ms. This results in smoother cursor movement and faster reaction times. However, the difference is subtle and mostly noticeable on high refresh rate monitors (240Hz, 360Hz, or 540Hz).

It is normal for the polling rate to fluctuate. Mice optimize data transmission to save power. If you move the mouse slowly, it sends fewer updates. To test the maximum polling rate, you must move the mouse quickly and continuously.

Yes, it can. Higher polling rates (4K/8K Hz) require more frequent CPU interrupts to process mouse data. On older or weaker CPUs, this can lead to high CPU usage and frame rate drops in CPU-intensive games.

A stable graph shows a flat line near your target Hz (e.g., consistent 1000Hz) when moving quickly. Frequent deep drops (stuttering) or massive spikes indicate sensor instability, wireless interference, or USB port issues.

In the past, wired was faster. However, modern 2.4GHz wireless technologies (like Razer HyperSpeed or Logitech Lightspeed) perform almost identically to wired connections. Many premium wireless mice now also support stable 4000Hz polling.
