Windows 10: The Mouse's Polling Rate can Cause Performance Issues

Hello everyone,


Your mouse's polling rate could cause performance issues when playing games. So, next time you have performance issues, try fiddling with the polling rate of your mouse.


thank you,

Is there a way to change the mouse polling rate


Win 10 seems to have the same issue that Win 8.1 had with the mouse polling rate where the desktop polling rate is locked at 200Hz. I have not validated the actual Hz but the mouse feels the same as 8.1. This is not a gaming issue, I am pretty sure most games will work at the correct polling rate it is just that the desktop no longer does. I am a CAD user and am use to very finite control using a 1000 polling rate and 2400 DPI with a Razer Deathadder.

Anyone here know of a fix? I have not tried the Win 8.1 fix as that fix did not work for me. I don't understand why MS changed this? I'll assume tablet compatibility but it makes for a very lousy mouse experience when you've been used to a 1000 polling rate since Win 7.

It is not a solution for polling rate. I just re-read the Win8.1 fix and may have messed up a step when I tried it in Win8.1. I'll have to see if this same solution will fix it in 10. This is the fix I am referring to. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2908279

 

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.
