Mouse / BROWSER TEST

Mouse polling rate test

Test input stays in your browser

Move your mouse continuously inside the area to estimate how often movement events reach your browser. This is a browser event-rate estimate, not a direct USB measurement.

QUICK START

How to use the polling rate

  1. Click Reset before measuring a new mouse or setting.
  2. Move in continuous circles inside the area for at least five seconds.
  3. Compare current, average and peak while moving. Pause and repeat if the sample is irregular.

READ YOUR RESULTS

Understanding your results

The test counts movement samples within a rolling one-second window. Where supported, it reads coalesced pointer events to include movement samples the browser grouped together. Average uses active windows; idle windows are excluded.

Browser scheduling, system load, remote sessions and event coalescing can affect the result. A configured 1000 Hz or higher mouse may not produce that exact number here. Use the manufacturer's tools when you need to verify the device's configured report rate.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my result lower than my mouse's advertised rate?

Movement speed, browser support and system scheduling can limit the events visible to a webpage. Repeat with continuous movement and compare under the same conditions.

Is peak the best number to use?

Peak shows the highest observed window, which may include bursts. Look at a sustained current reading and the average across active samples instead.
