Mouse Polling Rate Test
Move your mouse in the test area below and we'll measure how often it reports to your PC — from 125 Hz office mice to 8000 Hz esports mice, where your browser and hardware allow.
Move your mouse inside this area.
Fast circles or figure-eights give the most accurate reading.
Polling rate — live
Hz over timeWhat is mouse polling rate?
Polling rate is how many times per second your mouse reports its position to the PC. 125 Hz means a report every 8 ms; 1000 Hz every 1 ms; modern esports mice reach 4000–8000 Hz. Higher polling lowers input lag and makes aim feel more direct — one of the many things we tune in a DQT optimization session.
Tip: this test reads coalesced raw input events, but browsers can still batch reports on some systems — if you know your mouse is 8000 Hz and see less, close other tabs and try fast, continuous circles. USB mode (2.4 GHz vs Bluetooth) also matters: Bluetooth mice typically cap at 125–250 Hz.
