Standard mice report to your PC 1,000 times per second (1K). In 2026, 4K and 8K polling report up to 8,000 times. On a 240Hz or 360Hz monitor, this makes mouse movement look significantly smoother and reduces input lag by microseconds.
Optical vs Mechanical Switches
Legacy mechanical switches eventually wear out and double-click. Optical switches (like Razer's Gen-3 or Logitech's Lightforce) use a beam of light to register clicks. They are faster and effectively impossible to break.
