Online Mouse Polling Rate and Switch Diagnostic Lab
Diagnose gaming mouse sensors, microswitch health, and scroll wheel accuracy online. Test 1000Hz polling rates, detect mechanical switch chatter (the accidental double-click bug), and verify 5-button mouse inputs instantly.
Key Mouse Diagnostics
- Real-Time Polling Rate (Hz) Benchmark: Calculates high-frequency mouse movements to measure 125Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, and 4000Hz gaming mice.
- Double-Click Chatter Detector: Measures click bounce timestamps under 40 milliseconds to catch worn switches causing double click errors.
- Scroll Wheel Velocity and Direction: Tracks scroll wheel step counts, delta changes, and direction (UP or DOWN).
- 5-Button Switch Tester: Visual confirmation for Left Click, Right Click, Middle Click, Mouse 4 (Back), and Mouse 5 (Forward).
Mechanical mouse microswitches degrade over time. Our chatter detector identifies bounce intervals under 40 milliseconds automatically.
Mouse Benchmark Overview
| Test Metric | Ideal Value | What It Detects |
|---|---|---|
| Polling Rate (Hz) | 1000Hz to 4000Hz | Sensor refresh speed and USB port polling rate |
| Switch Chatter | Clean (No Chatter) | Microswitch wear or double click hardware defects |
| Scroll Steps | Consistent steps | Encoder skipping, free spin defects, or reversed scrolling |
| Tracking Trace | Smooth lines | Sensor jitter, angle snapping, or tracking spin-outs |
