Need for Speed: Why Polling Rates Matter

Ever feel like your mouse is lagging behind your in-game reflexes? Like there's a pesky delay between your lightning-fast clicks and those on-screen eliminations? We're here to shed light on the mysterious world of polling rates, and let's just say, things are about to get much smoother.

What is a Polling Rate?

Your mouse is constantly reporting its location to your computer. The polling rate is how often the mouse sends a report. Most mice have a polling rate of 125Hz (messages per second), which is fine for browsing, doing homework, or watching videos. Gamers demand more. A higher polling rate means the mouse can send more frequent messages to the PC. This means smoother, more responsive mouse movement. It can be the difference between "I almost got 'em!" and "Boom! Headshot!"

NZXT Lift 2: Polling Rate Powerhouse

This is where our new NZXT Lift 2 gaming mouse steps into the arena. With an insane 8,000Hz polling rate, this mouse reports its position to your PC 8,000 times every second. So, what does that mean for you?

Reduced input lag: Say goodbye to delays, your aim will feel instantly connected to your hand. Smoother cursor movement: Aiming becomes more precise and pixel-perfect.
