Hey guys, been looking at the Razer Viper 8K, and apparently in certain games 8khz polling rate fucks with the game engine and you see choppyness of movement and stuff, does anyone have this mouse can anyone tell me if these issues exist within tf2?

A high polling rate does have a very bad effect on tf2. You should look for a mice with adjustable polling rate (such as the Razer Viper 8k) polling rate should be less than 2k for optimal experience. I will edit with a video example when I get home in ~3 hours what the differences are.

what causes this kind of lag, i don't know, all i know is its a weird problem that some people have.

I currently use the Razer Viper Mini and I haven't encountered any issues with the high polling rate. If it does fuck you over for some reason, you can always lower the polling rate in Razer Synapse.

Wait really? I must have never noticed. What's exactly the problem with 8k polling rate in TF2 tho? For reference my polling rate is at 500. Also btw Razer Viper's polling rate can be adjusted, but only with fixed values.

It's literally just how often it sends information to the computer per second.
I don't exactly know how this causes issues for games, because all evidence is just anecdotal. googling "high mouse polling rate lag" or something will show results of people saying "I have 8khz polling rate and I'm fine" meanwhile other people get long lag spikes on web pages with 1-2000hz. Generally from what I've read an experienced 500-1000 seems to be fine for 99.99% of pc builds.

I'm using a Razer Viper 8K. 8k polling rate works fine with tf2 if your cpu is strong enough. For me, sometimes when chrome and tidal are running simultaneously, the mouse lags in-game @8Khz. Though I never encountered lag @4Khz, I've set it to 2Khz just to be safe. fyi, I have a r5 3600 @4.55GHz.

it actually has a huge difference in both of my zowie mice. when using 500hz it has a more glidey feel which i used to like. also a huge difference with messing around with the LOD settings

I see im basically going to be getting a 5800x + 360hz monitor and the razer viper 8k all at the same time I would imagen the cpu would be able to handle it but if not i can turn down the hz of the mouse ty everyone for help

yes definately, i used the intellimouse 3.0 for a really long time locked at 125hz and switching to 500hz was noticeable, and 500 to 1000z was also really noticeable for me higher mouse polling honestly kind of feels like game fps is higher sometimes.

1k hz isnf inherently better than 500 tho in terms of fps i used to find 1k hard to track with

Razer viper mini and razer viper 8k are two completely different mice, its called 8k because of the 8000hz polling rate which this thread is asking about

been running the 8k for a while, without issues. however I got a pretty beefy system.
