Higher polling rate mice are all the craze right now. 2000Hz. 4000Hz. 8000Hz. But can you actually see the difference?

  • One big issue with high dpi is that many games don't let you set very low in-game sensitivity to compensate
  • @CRY0BIT
    Great explanation of what polling rate actually means during gameplay, straight to the point. I really appreciate how in-depth you go and the graphics you use to visually understand the concepts. This type of content is very important to keep customer informed so we can make informed decisions on our purchases, instead of buying the new piece of tech just because it has a bigger number
  • It might be interesting to see a test that measures whether higher polling rate lowers input latency for the beginning and end of a motion. In all practicality, I think it says enough that the polling rate being lowered due to battery level wasn’t noticeable. It would be interesting though to see if there’s a perceivable difference in slow-mo.
  • @5H3N
    absolutely love the transparency across all the tests you do on the channel, good job as always man
  • @Don-Omarr
    Once again, you are the benchmark when it comes to interesting tech videos like this. Great work dude!
  • @pipe_dev_null
    I really appreciate not only the level of detail you put into your videos, but also the way you explain things. It’s very easy to understand and well thought out. That and your camera work and editing is awesome.
  • @j4nkh4nk
    Does this man NOT build a test setup for everything lol. SO prepared for everything! Love it! Always appreciate the ingenuity and effort put into production of these videos. Thank you!
  • @yotura
    I just want to let a comment here cause i love your work and your videos. I found them really useful and that's not the first time that i watch one of your videos to have an answer about things like the video is talking about. So big thanks ! And continue like that !
  • @MarkShank
    Really thoughtful, rational and researched commentary on our gaming hobby, as always. Thanks!
  • @MuckyxD
    the quality of your content is from other world, no bull$#!t, great explanations, great examples, very deep tests shown very clearly, love your channel
  • @pixellord1
    Honestly love your videos man, the quality and atmosphere is just great.
  • @gutterg0d
    Thank you! Perfectly aligns with every assumption I've made about increasing the polling rate beyond 1000 Hz. There's no way something that makes less than a millisecond of difference is going to impact user performance in any way at all.
  • @lukeburden
    Somehow these videos just keep getting better and better
  • This is the exact kind of content we all need and I really appreciate your channel for investigating things like this. I love my mouse but have kinda dipped my toes into changing for 4K hz, but now I can just be happy with my perfectly good mouse.
  • @EverydayMania
    Brilliant work as always, but what I am most impressed by is the ingenuity. In almost every video I hear you say "So I made this"....love it. Keep the content coming!
  • @Voidward
    The TLDR is: You're brushing up against diminishing returns at 1000hz. There's some benefit past there, but you probably won't notice it as a human interfacing with an input device. The other mouse features / shape / weight / feel will have substantially more impact. Thanks for the tests as always. Some of the best honestly.
  • @t0nyxgq
    Thanks for the clear explanation of polling rates and how it affects smoothness. Your explanations are always very clear and easy to understand.
  • @p1va9
    The only guy to listen to when it comes to all kinds of latency tests, love you mate great video as always :)
  • @SerafymFTH
    man you are realy taking these videos and testings to another level compared to other reviewers. keep up the good job, love your videos
  • @kuramaow
    Great video man. Loving the recent content. Super super excited for your upcoming vid on windows / os tweaks. Looking forward to seeing more of your content, much love
