One of the few 8000Hz mice on the market, at a solid price. Great sensor, materials, weight, shape, cable, and switches, combined with an elite polling rate.

There's plenty of reviews that debate the benefits, but it's simple enough to explain: if the game supports it and you're trying to track aim on fast-moving objects, going to 4000Hz and higher provides an accuracy benefit due to the data coming in being more naturally fluid. Your mouse movement becomes more in-step with your own hand-eye coordination.

The increased polling rate also reduces mouse jitter effects as you climb to 360Hz and higher refresh rates, which is the point where 1000Hz starts to struggle due to timing issues with each display refresh, i.e. mouse movement can be as much as a third of a frame behind at 360Hz.

This increased polling rate does come at the cost of some CPU usage, but nothing that should be destroying your competitive gaming experience, and you can always set it to 4000Hz to reduce this effect while maintaining the benefits until the rest of your hardware chain catches up.

I'm dreading the comments section of this one, but enjoy!

    Whether you use the 8000hz or stick to the standard 1000hz $59 is cheap for a good mouse like this.

      $40 is cheap, $25 - the all-time low - is a steal.

        it was never $25, Always have to include postage in the overall cost.

        Also are arguing that your own deal isn't a bargain? Strange.

        • jasswolf on 09/04/2022 - 16:33

          Fair point on the postage cost, but at that price you can just buy them for family and friends to trigger free shipping. You can also cancel the excess and still get free shipping.

          As for my take on the pricing, I'm just being pragmatic. :P

        • beOson on 09/04/2022 - 18:10

          It was $33 including postage for me

  • [Deactivated] on 09/04/2022 - 16:50

    Paid 25 bucks when UK Amazon was doing a flush sale.

    • BargainsGrabber on 09/04/2022 - 16:53

      Still have mine from that deal, man that was a good steal

    • Eeples on 09/04/2022 - 17:37

      Plus postage.

      • BargainsGrabber on 09/04/2022 - 19:53

        It was free postage if you used the international shipping hack that’s long running on OzB :))

  • Fergy1987 on 09/04/2022 - 17:05

    Probably going to get flamed, but surely we are at a point where wired mice aren't worth it anymore with the improvement of wireless

      Eh.
      Not batteries?

      The cable on these is very light oo

    • jasswolf on 09/04/2022 - 17:40

      I mean I did cover why. If you're not competitively gaming, there's no rush.

      Wireless tech has to come a fair way to deal with up to 8x bandwidth requirements.

    • JsonDough on 09/04/2022 - 18:27

      Sleeping mouse sometimes annoy me

    • ioseph on 10/04/2022 - 08:52

      Infinity simpler, if desktop why is wireless needed? No batteries mean can last forever and no extra noise in the EM spectrum. I really don't see the point of wireless kb or mouse.

    These are a great mouse. Optical switches I believe (don't quote me and do your own research).
    Nice and light with good feet.

    4k polling doesn't have a cpu impact on my 14 year old i7 system, 8k polling can cause some lag spikes in some games ui.

    Been using it for 6months without issue and prefer it over the logitech gaming mouse I had prior.

  • BargainHunterJohnnyB on 09/04/2022 - 17:27

    I have the EVGA 8khz polling rate mouse and i think it doesn't work with all games

        How can you tell? Just wondering so I know for future.

          Seller only has 159 reviews… would avoid. Many other sellers with thousands of reviews, would rather pay ~5% more and buy from a more trusted seller.

        • Budju on 09/04/2022 - 21:01

          Is there a minimum bench mark for seller history when recommending sellers on OZB? Or we don't really worry about that. Just asking for futre

  • AreYouAWiiizard on 11/04/2022 - 01:10

    Does it do 2000hz?

    • jasswolf on 11/04/2022 - 01:31

      Yes, but the effect is diminished.
