Polling Rate Test

Measure how many times per second your mouse reports its position (Hz), live.

Move the pointer to see how often the browser receives position events, in Hz. This reading does not directly measure the mouse’s hardware specification.

Move the pointer steadily and check several times. Max shows the highest value observed during the test.

Reading notes

The browser may bundle pointer events or deliver them in sync with screen refreshes. The displayed value may be lower than the device’s actual report rate.
High report rates can exceed the browser’s event-processing capacity, so the result may be lower than the mouse’s specification.
Connection type, system load, power-saving settings and other tabs can affect the result. This is an in-browser observation, not a lab measurement.

About This Content

Measure your mouse or pointer's polling rate (Hz) right in the browser. Move the pointer over the test area to see the live current and max Hz — from 125 Hz office mice to 500-1000 Hz gaming models and top-end 4K/8K Hz mice. Because of how browsers and operating systems process events, the reading can be capped, so treat it as a guide. No install, no sign-up, 100% free.
