3366 mice have different framerates: maximums are either ~8500 or ~11500

more puzzles...
i found that i wrote this in one of my emails in 2016:
and, 30% is roughly the difference between 8500 and 11500
3 possibilities:
hardware differences between different 3366s
there's some register that controls framerate?
srom differences + me not being careful?

I'm even more confused. when I load srom 0x08 on the g502 board, the framerates are all too low (by ~30%). no idea what's going on there. I took srom 0x08 from a g303, which was for sure getting normal framerates.

I decided to use my G303 again and noticed immediately that it felt much sharper than the G Pro. I know you said you couldn't tell the difference but I'm just curious now why both mice feel so different to me, could it really just be the shape of the mice causing this?

i think all the clocks in the sensor scale proportionally, and indeed 70% is close to the ratio in the title 8500/11500.
semi-related but posting here for reference: strictly speaking 3389's max framerate (~15000 or so) is higher than 3360/3366's. i checked on scope attached led pin. but for whatever reason, in the highest framerate mode, the data registers update only every other frame, so as far as mousetester plots are concerned, it appears as ~7500.
i suspect 3310 does something similar. can't be bother to check right now.

Though "data registers" is ambiguous. If you're talking about the registers the MCU reads from that's one thing, but if you're talking about the registers the image data is stored or processed in, that's effectively the same thing as reducing framerate.

Could the reason for the 70% clock simply be stability? I plotted my g303 the other day and it gives different plots every time. Kinda like the early fw g403 and the revel too actually.

tranquil: yea sorry i mean like counts registers (from which the mcu reads via spi), not the raw data.
