Mouse input performance test
Mouse Polling Rate Test for checking mouse Hz online.
Run a browser-based mouse polling rate test to estimate mouse Hz, pointer event interval, stability, and input consistency online. The tool is built for gamers, competitive players, and users checking whether their mouse input feels stable in the browser.
Method
How this mouse polling rate test works
The test records the time between pointer move events while you move the mouse inside the test field. Those event intervals are converted into current Hz, average Hz, min/max Hz, stability, and sample count.
A 125 Hz mouse usually reports around every 8 ms. A 500 Hz mouse is closer to 2 ms, and a 1000 Hz mouse is around 1 ms when the browser and system expose events quickly enough.
Browsers may coalesce pointer events and operating systems can throttle input under load. Use the result as a browser-visible polling estimate, not a guaranteed USB hardware measurement.
Cleaner results
Get a better mouse Hz reading
Move the mouse continuously inside the test area.
Keep the browser tab focused during the run.
Use a wired mouse or a fully charged wireless mouse.
Disable battery saver or low-power mode.
Avoid mixing trackpad and mouse input during the test.
Compare multiple runs before changing mouse settings.
Limits
What browser mouse polling can and cannot prove
This test is useful for checking whether the browser is receiving pointer events at a rate that looks like 125 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, or another common mouse polling setting.
It cannot bypass browser event handling. Driver software, USB mode, wireless power saving, system load, and browser event coalescing can all change the visible result.

FAQ
Mouse Polling Rate Test Questions
What does this mouse polling rate test measure?
It measures the timing between browser pointer move events and estimates the visible mouse polling rate in Hz, along with average, min, max, stability, and sample count.
Is this the same as the USB polling rate?
Not exactly. Browsers, operating systems, power settings, and event coalescing can affect pointer events. Treat this as a browser-visible mouse Hz estimate, not a guaranteed hardware USB rate.
How do I get a cleaner mouse Hz result?
Use a wired or fully charged mouse, keep the tab focused, move the pointer continuously inside the test area, disable power saving, and avoid touching the trackpad at the same time.
Why does my result jump between values?
Pointer event timing can vary because of browser coalescing, USB scheduling, CPU load, high-DPI mouse settings, wireless power modes, and how steadily you move the mouse.
