Frequently asked questions

What is mouse polling rate?

Polling rate is how many times per second the mouse reports its position to the computer, measured in hertz (Hz).

What is a good polling rate?

500 Hz is enough for most users, while competitive players often prefer 1000 Hz or higher; the tool measures what your current setup reports.

Why do results vary between runs?

Results depend on the mouse, its connection, the operating system, and how steadily you move, so repeat the test a few times for a reliable average.
