How to use the mouse rate test
Move the mouse quickly and continuously around the test zone. Larger circles usually provide enough movement for the browser to deliver a representative event stream.
Estimate mouse polling delivery rate in the browser with live events per second, peak rate, median interval and a stability graph for standard and high-polling mice.
Move the mouse quickly and continuously around the test zone. Larger circles usually provide enough movement for the browser to deliver a representative event stream.
Current and peak Hz describe pointer events delivered to the page; median interval shows their typical spacing. A flatter trace indicates more consistent delivery.
Browsers and operating systems may coalesce pointer events, especially on high-rate devices. The result is delivered event rate, not a direct USB analyzer reading.
The interactive work happens locally in this browser. No account is required, and test inputs are not sent away to calculate the result.
