Mouse Polling Rate Test
Test your mouse polling rate (Hz) instantly. Check if your gaming mouse is running at 1000Hz or standard 125Hz. Measure latency & smoothness in your browser.
What is Mouse Polling Rate?
Polling Rate (or Report Rate) is how often your mouse sends data to your computer, measured in Hertz (Hz). A polling rate of 1000Hz means the mouse updates its position 1000 times every second, offering a 1ms delay (latency). Lower polling rates like 125Hz mean the mouse only reports every 8ms.
For competitive gaming (CS:GO, Valorant, Apex Legends), a higher polling rate is crucial. It ensures your rapid flicks and tracking movements are translated to the screen instantly, making your aim feel smoother and more responsive.
Common Polling Rate Standards
125Hz (8ms Latency)
Standard for standard office/bluetooth mice. Great for battery life, but feels "choppy" on 144Hz+ monitors.
500Hz (2ms Latency)
A solid middle ground. Some pro gamers prefer this for a slightly "smoother" or "less jittery" feel. Very stable.
1000Hz (1ms Latency)
The industry standard for wired gaming mice. Provides instant response times with minimal lag. Ideal for esports.
How to Check Your Mouse Hz
Simply move your mouse cursor in continuous circles within the blue test area above. The tool measures the time gap between each update event from your browser to calculate the real-time frequency. Note: Some browsers or non-gaming monitors might visually update slower, but the tool will capture the raw event rate if your hardware supports it.
