What is Polling Rate?

Polling Rate, measured in Hertz (Hz), is how often your mouse reports its position to the computer. A 1000Hz polling rate means it reports 1000 times per second (a 1ms response time).

Will the cable drag be an issue?

While cable drag can be a concern, modern wired mice often feature lightweight, flexible cables (like paracord) to minimize this feeling. For the ultimate setup, pairing your mouse with a mouse bungee can virtually eliminate cable drag.
