Windows 10: Mouse Refresh Rate - Hz - cycles per second

Has there been any progress in finding ways to increase the polling rate of mouses in windows 10?
I do not wish to disable the driver signing.
I ran 'mouserate' and found the refresh frequency to be 125Hz.
Ideally this should be a registry item, if not an actual mouse option item.
Turning off 'acceleration' does help a bit for a smoother operation.

How to get computer to 75hz but computer isn't letting me choose 75hz, stuck at 60hz

The standard refresh rate for a digital monitor is 60 Hz, and that's where you should leave it.

In the good old days of hulking CRT monitors, the higher the refresh rate the better because a higher refresh rate meant that the image 'jiggled' less. Most people didn't detect any jiggling once the refresh rate hit 75 Hz, and that's where I set my Sony
monitor. Some people who were particularly sensitive would spend a small fortune on a graphics card that could output 90 Hz, even 120 Hz.

But that was then and this is now. Image stability is not an issue in a digital monitor (LCD, LED, OLED) so the standard refresh rate is 60 Hz. There's no point to driving a monitor any higher.

If you want to know why the monitor advertises a 75 Hz refresh, that's for gamers who consistently play at frame rates higher than 75 fps. You're looking at a high-powered (and expensive) system.

 

Need a Complete Windows 10 Mouse (and other device) Polling Rates Listing!

Hello,

I would like to inform that polling rate of any device depends on the hardware.

The polling rate of a mouse is how often it
reports its position to a computer which is measured in Hz. A mouse will report its position 125 times every second
which shows, its polling rate
is 125 Hz.

You may set the polling rate in the control panel if the mouse supports high polling rate.

You may try contacting the manufacturer of the hardware regarding this.

If you have any further queries, feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help you.



Thank you.

 

Mouse refresh rate is a hardware (Mouse/Receiver End) related feature , it can be affected by driver as well but not by far . Most applications I saw that attempted to tamper with mice did COM work (Dealt with hardware directly) . So bottom line if you have the latest drivers for it (do check with Driver Booster too) and had no significant change then this is as good as it gets .

P.S Not all claimed Mhz / dpis printed on a mouse box are true , China now would just print anything that'd make you happy but the mouse itself might feel as numb as drunk snail and Logitech isn't doing any better , best I've seen so far were Microsoft's own (Figures *really) if you are considering buying a new .

 

that is a good point, that a cheap mouse will behave as a cheap mouse does.
If you want a mouse with higher refresh rate, then look for that when shopping for one. Now I know what to look for, beyond wild claims of 'dpi' that may just be a button with a multiplier effect. I've found that with 'cheap' mouses the pointer moves farther but you lose definition. So the same is true of this polling rate setting, if a mouse isn't designed to support it, and comes with that feature built into the driver software, then it isn't true. The mouse won't be able to respond any faster, no matter what you do.
Is this about right?
Do you, anybody, have a good recommendation for mouses or what to look for in a 'proper' mouse? IDK that they advertise this feature as I haven't seen it when looking for more information on this topic.

 

I picked up two dirt cheap (~$9-14) mice a while back that I like really well. It has a "driver" that lets you adjust the polling rate from 125-1000, change DPI, buttons, LED colors, etc. I say "driver" because it uses the default Windows driver, but it has software that basically programs the mouse directly. The mouse stays how you set it even if you move it to another PC without the "driver", so it's more of a firmware programmer than a driver.

The mouse is called a Utechsmart Jupiter but they appear to be out of stock on Amazon. If you can find one though, and don't mind a smaller sized mouse, I say grab a few of them.
