Start with 500 Hz if you’re unsure – it offers a great balance of speed and stability for most users. And remember: if you ever experience weird cursor behavior, just revert to the default 125 Hz or 500 Hz and work back up from there.

In simple terms, the polling rate (measured in Hz) is how often your mouse reports its position to your computer. A higher rate means lower latency and smoother cursor movement. Standard office mice run at 125 Hz (8ms response), while modern gaming mice can reach 1000 Hz (1ms) or even 4000/8000 Hz.
