Your 1000Hz mouse shows 800Hz. Your 8000Hz mouse stays at 1000Hz. This does not mean your mouse is broken.
Browser tests estimate movement events. A browser test is good for finding your general tier. It is not a hardware USB analyzer.
How to test your mouse:
• Open the Mouse Polling Rate Test. • Click the test area. • Move the mouse in fast circles for 10 to 20 seconds. • Repeat this two or three times. • Look for the repeated tier. Do not trust one lucky spike.
Common tiers:
• 125Hz: Office or Bluetooth use. • 500Hz: Stable gaming use. • 1000Hz: The best default for gaming. • 4000Hz/8000Hz: Only works if your CPU, game, and monitor are ready.
If your 1000Hz mouse peaks near 850Hz in a browser, it is normal. Browser timing and OS scheduling affect the result.
If your mouse stays at 125Hz or 250Hz, check these:
• Set the report rate in your mouse software (Logitech G Hub, Razer Synapse, etc). • Switch from Bluetooth to 2.4GHz or wired mode. • Plug the mouse directly into your computer. Avoid USB hubs or docks. • Turn off battery saver mode.
If you use an 8000Hz mouse, check these:
• Use the correct 4K or 8K receiver. • Update your firmware. • Save the rate to your onboard profile. • Check if your PC can handle the high CPU load.
A stable 1000Hz setting is better than an unstable 8000Hz setting. High polling rates can cause stutter or drain your battery.
Quick Fix Checklist:
• Connection: Use USB or 2.4GHz receiver. Avoid Bluetooth. • USB Path: Plug into the motherboard. Do not use a hub. • Software: Set the rate and save the profile. • Firmware: Update the mouse and receiver. • Battery: Charge the device and disable power saving. • System Load: Close heavy tabs, recorders, and overlays.
