Why This Tool Goes Beyond a Basic Polling Rate Checker

Most online polling rate checkers only show average and peak Hz. This tool also measures jitter (consistency of your mouse's report timing), tracks click latency and CPS, visualizes movement with a live heatmap, and lets you export your full test session as JSON or CSV for deeper analysis.

Mouse Polling Rate Guide

Polling rate is how often your mouse reports its position to the computer per second. A higher polling rate reduces the time between position updates, which can make fast movements feel smoother — but it doesn't improve sensor accuracy, which comes down to DPI and sensor quality instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

What polling rate does this tool support?
This tool reads events using the getCoalescedEvents() API, and pointerrawupdate where the browser supports it, so it reflects your mouse's true report rate far more accurately than a plain mousemove counter. In practice, most Chromium browsers reliably read up to roughly 1500–2000Hz; readings above that depend on your OS, USB port, and CPU load, and can under-report a mouse's rated 4000Hz or 8000Hz. For exact hardware-level verification, pair this tool with a native utility like MouseTester.
What is a good polling rate for gaming?
500Hz is the competitive minimum. 1000Hz is the standard for most gaming mice. Ultra-competitive players on high-refresh monitors prefer 4000Hz or 8000Hz.
What is polling rate jitter?
Jitter measures how consistently your mouse reports data — calculated as the standard deviation between consecutive poll intervals. Low jitter means stable, predictable tracking; high jitter can cause micro-stutters even if your average polling rate looks high.
Is higher polling rate always better?
Not necessarily. Above 4000Hz, CPU usage increases slightly. The benefit depends on your monitor refresh rate — a 4000Hz mouse on a 60Hz monitor provides no visible advantage.
Can I increase my mouse polling rate?
Yes, through manufacturer software — Logitech G HUB, Razer Synapse, or SteelSeries Engine — if your mouse hardware supports it. Not all mice can exceed 1000Hz.
