Retest wired or with the wireless receiver closer to isolate polling-rate drops.

3

Close heavy tabs and overlays before comparing low-latency mouse options.

FAQs

How do I run a mouse FPS test online? +

Move the mouse smoothly in circles and watch whether updates stay consistent or drop. Browser events are not a lab-grade polling-rate meter, but they can reveal low-FPS movement and Hz-like update drops under the same test conditions.

Why does mouse movement look low FPS? +

Wireless interference, USB hubs, low battery, browser load, overlays, receiver distance, and sensor trouble can all make movement look choppy. Compare wired mode first.

Should I replace a mouse for polling issues? +

Only when the same update drops repeat across ports, browsers, receiver positions, wired and wireless setups, and another machine. Connection fixes often solve it before a low-latency mouse is necessary.
