By combining Razer HyperPolling with the ultra-low-latency connection of Razer HyperSpeed, we’re able to deliver the world’s fastest wireless performance with a true 4000 Hz polling rate. This enables our devices to report 4x more frequently than other wireless peripherals, which have an average polling rate of only 1000 Hz.

By utilizing a high-speed USB microcontroller, Razer HyperPolling surpasses the industry standard of 1000 Hz with a true 8000 Hz polling rate—which is the rate at which your device reports to your PC. With the ability to send up to 8 times more data in a second, this effectively reduces delay from 1 to 1/8th of a millisecond.

Razer HyperPolling not only provides the fastest click latency, but also keeps the click-to-click variance to an absolute minimum—making it superior to other leading gaming technologies.

See how Hyperpolling Technology compares against other products side by side:

*Measurements show time delta between the electrical actuation of the mouse click to when the frame is received/reflected at the host computer (accurate up to 1μs) tested in a controlled environment.

A high polling rate becomes more important with high refresh rate monitors, as it’s able to send more current data to match the display’s faster frequency. Mice with lower polling rates are less likely to keep up, which can result in annoying micro-stutters.

Because Razer HyperPolling provides up to 8 times more data reports per second, the delay between its latest report and your monitor’s frame rendering is much less compared to that of a 1000 Hz polling rate, resulting in smoother and more up-to-date cursor positions.

Conversely, lower polling rates will have longer delays which can introduce micro-stutters or sudden jumps in your cursor position, making your mouse movement choppy.

Unlike the usual chase for higher DPI, we believe in giving gamers an actual advantage. If it truly had any practical applications in gaming, then the highest DPI settings would be used by every esports player.

Latency is a universal issue that affects all gamers, and Razer HyperPolling Technology is an innovation everyone can gain from, regardless of the way you play. As validated through blind tests, many competitive players have noticed a significantly smoother and more responsive gaming experience—a benefit which can be appreciated by all.
