1000Hz polling · 1ms response · Universal compatibility
The Universal Standard
1000Hz polling has been the competitive gaming standard for over a decade. Every game, every OS, every USB port — zero compatibility issues, zero driver headaches, guaranteed to just work.
1ms Response Time
At 1000Hz your mouse reports its position 1000 times per second. For most players at monitor refresh rates up to 144Hz, this is imperceptible from higher polling rates in real gameplay.
Maximum Battery Life
Lower polling rate means lower power consumption. 1K wireless mice routinely hit 200–400 hour battery life — far beyond what 4K or 8K mice can offer on a single charge.
Best Value Tier
The most capable sensors — PAW3395, PAW3950 — all run flawlessly at 1K. You get flagship sensor performance without paying the premium for high-polling hardware.
