Simply just wondering which is the most prevalent hz, and maybe some opinions why you find a particular rate better than others. Thanks for answering the poll, in advance. Oh, and I included the settings that are possible to select with the USB Mouserate Switcher. If you use another one (if that's possible), well, I forgot to add "Other". So, sorry about that!

500hz
cause its faster, der
ive heard people say 1000hz is less stable
and im stuck with 500hz because its the default with g5

500hz using an mx310 - it made all the difference in the world.
i also never tried 1000hz because i heard of instability among all of your usb devices.

Trying out 1000Hz, because my Razer mice will generally do more than 500Hz.
And, contrary to popular belief, it even reduced CPU overhead in my case.

am i the only one with ps2 mouse and 100hz

mipa cant you get 200hz? 8 )

no

wtf is polling rate?! I use the standard then I think!

I think I use 250 Hz because when I ran at higher rates my sound card got fucked up.

I´m using 1000Hz rate with my razer and get no instability problems...

mx500@1000hz abit unstable ye when you do the m_showrate 1.
But still...really nice

125hz
I mainly play CS :X (Picks up flame-proof shield) and USB rate patches are usually not allowed at CS LANs. The same goes for drivers too, so my peripherals are plug and play. Although I feel I could adjust to LAN conditions if I had to, it's best to be 100% prepared so I don't perform terribly my first time on LAN (otherwise I might be called a cheater).

WoW, what on earth could spark such an idea in a LAN Organizers head ? Plain silly if you ask me =( (and I'm a 500Hz user...)

I know, I've tried arguing it too but the two main arguements they give:
1) Possibility of hardware damage.
2) Hard to determine the current setting of it (this is absolutely pointless because a lot of players use a registry fix patch and the only way to determine this is to either apply it or remove it using another fix). I think this is possibly tied in to the hardware damage because they think someone might plug in his or her peripherals and realize the mouse just died because it can't run at 1000hz.

Agreed, absolutely silly. It could easily be fixed by a modified fix that automatically restarts the computer back to default settings once someone exits the program.

I use 500Hz on my MX300 because when it's at 1000Hz Quake3 sometimes drops mouse clicks or they seem to stick. 500Hz fixes the problem though.

cool avatar, joer!

1000hz @ msie3.0a
Personaly, i don't use any usb patch.
I use mouse driver for win2k (don't remember author).
Smooth as hell.

I'm using my mx510 @ 500Mhz and work fine fine.

Use USB Mouserate Switcher for change it without much problems.

Bye'z

Logitech G5, so 500Hz

500Hz on an MX500 mouse. Just feels best (tried them all). (Linux of course :E)

g5 @ 1000hz
i used new soft

mx310 at 500hz
