Aimlabs

I set out to prove polling rate affects my aim and instead found my favourite DPI setting

A PC gamer tested how mouse polling rates and DPI settings affect aim in the Aimlabs software. Using an Asus Rog Harpe II Extreme Edition mouse, they found that while higher polling rates like 8,000 Hz offer faster communication, a 1,000 Hz polling rate felt most comfortable and provided good performance. The analysis also highlighted that lower DPI settings, favored by professional players, yielded better scores.
