Default Mouse Benchmark

And when I thought I've heard everything it comes this, a benchmark for the mice. Heres what the author has to say about it:
Quote:
With the launch of the world's first independent benchmarking system for mice, buying a desktop rodent will no longer involve guesswork and luck. Sujoy Roy has been analysing hardcore data and investigating the real world at a fundamental level since entering Cambridge University in 1994. His other passion in life is gaming, so the creation of the MouseScore benchmark makes perfect sense!

If you are serious about fragging the world to death, then you can't afford NOT to read this article and be the first gamer in your team to know the absolute truth in the battle between the massed ranks of the multinational mouse manufacturers.

Overclocking the Mouse USB port
Some Logitech and Microsoft mice have a huge performance boost when you overclock the mouse port, because of an interface limit. Specifically they are: Logitech's MX300 & MX500 and Microsoft's WMO, IE3.0 & Laser 6000. My recommendation is to set the USB rate to 500Hz for these mice, but using a USB tool that only affects the port that has the mouse plugged in. The response on other mice did not change when overclocking the USB port (or they had a higher clock rate by default).

What's funny about that? I've been running "overclocked" with my IE4.0 for over a year now, and I'll never go back.

Also, did you know that the G5 automatically "hacks" Windows to 500hz? It's just a hype, even Razer does it.

It's like writing a P965 board is SLi compatible, more people would probably buy it, but that would mean other P965 mobo's with 2 PCI-E x16 slots also is SLi compatible.

More people will buy it, the enthutiasts will just go for the best performancerice ratio.

*EDIT*

What? They say that my MS 4.0 doesn't support 1000HZ, that's true, but I got it to work with 250HZ? WTH?

r u running it as 500Hz?... wouldn't 1000Hz be better since it's faster?

Maybe he means increase the polling rate (not DPI)? This is technically overclocking the mouse...

That's exactly what I'm saying Apparently I lived under a rock all this time, not knowing the mouse can be OCed.

*EDIT Gon, I can't stop laughing... it seems that mice can be OCed. I keep having that image in my head with Willie Coyote riding a rocket Willie with NO2

So errm any bets on how long it takes until we see watercooled mice and MOUSE-Z Verified links of mouse overclocks @ 2Ghz? Have a 1x PCIe slot devoted to the MPU...

Ooh I bet you could get to 3Ghz on a phased mouse.
