If you have an older mouse or are unfamiliar with the model you are using, it can be difficult to find out what its polling rate is, which is very important for gaming.
Windows Mouse Rate Checker is a pretty straightforward program that can help you out in this scenario. It makes it easy to tell what your device’s current polling rate is, even though it lacks a graphical user interface.
Your pointing device’s report rate is measured in Hertz, and it is normally between 125 and 1000 Hz. While newer mice come with software that allows you to customize this setting, older devices have a fixed polling rate, which is often difficult to learn.
This utility simply measures the time between messages sent by your mouse to your computer. Even though it is launched in a Command Prompt window, the program is not at all difficult to use.
Since you don’t need to install anything, you can just launch the program as soon as you have downloaded it. It is opened in the command console, and you will see a list of numbers pop up in the window whenever you move your mouse.
Mouse polling rate has a number of fixed values, namely 125, 250, 500 and 1000 Hz. Most of the values displayed in the console window will be close to one of these numbers, so you can quickly tell which report rate your device is using. Still it might have helped it the program calculated an average value as well.
While Windows Mouse Rate Checker is clearly a very basic piece of software, it gets the job done. It provides you with a quick way to find your mouse’s report rate and make sure your device is functioning correctly.
