About Mouse Polling Rate Test
What is Mouse Polling Rate Test?
Mouse Polling Rate Test is a free browser-based utility for measuring mouse reporting frequency, interval variation, and movement stability without software installation.
What Mouse Polling Rate Test does
The tool tracks browser-visible pointermove events to calculate average rate, peak rate, lowest 500 ms window rate, jitter, and update interval distributions up to 8000 Hz. It provides sampling routines, measurement notes, and setup guides for peripherals from Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries, and Zowie.
Who Mouse Polling Rate Test is for
Gamers, hardware enthusiasts, and peripheral testers verifying report rates, diagnosing input latency, or inspecting pointer stability.
How Mouse Polling Rate Test works
Users move the pointer continuously inside the test area during a 3s countdown followed by an 8s sampling period. The browser records movement samples to compute average Hz, peak frequency, and stability metrics.
Key features
- Measures browser-received mouse movement frequency and calculates effective rate in Hz.
- Tracks average rate, peak rate, lowest 500 ms window rate, and interval jitter.
- Visualizes update interval distributions including median interval and deviation metrics.
- Runs a sampling routine requiring at least 3 seconds of movement and 100 samples.
- Provides setup guides for configuring report rates across Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries, and Zowie hardware.
- Offers companion tests for keyboard polling rate, click speed, reaction time, and scroll wheel consistency.

Frequently asked questions
Does the test require software installation?
No. The utility runs directly in standard web browsers without downloads or driver installation.
How long does a polling rate measurement take?
The test includes a 3s countdown and an 8s sampling window, requiring at least 3 seconds of continuous movement.
What metrics are reported after the test completes?
Results include average rate, peak rate, lowest 500 ms rate, jitter, stability score, and update interval distribution.
Can browser-based tests confirm physical hardware faults?
No. The page measures browser-visible movement samples and does not directly verify USB packet delivery or diagnose hardware faults.
