just do it man

it does feel slightly smoother.

500hz offers you
- better tracking
- smoother movement
- higher perfect control
- 2ms response time (as opposed to 8ms)

It cannot however tide your room and shit golden eggs.

For an unknown reason, I can't use the 'reply' button..

#1: I play at 2 different Internet cafes. One of them, has the settings of its computers locked, so I can't overclock my mouse there. The other one is good, but it's far from my house and my friends don't play there.

#2: Is that it?

#3: How do you define this 'better tracking'? Less negative accelerations? I thought it will only apply on the mouse when you hit the speed limit..

#3 less neg accel, no skipping at high speeds

ive never seen a WMO skipping in my life. but ye, 500hz is ftw

lol

If my memory recalls correct:

120hz = 8ms delay
500hz = 2ms delay
1000hz = 1ms delay

There is a huge difference from 125 to 500 if you ask me, after that I personally would not make a big deal of it :)

Yes, you can calculate hz to seconds by dividing the numbers.

For example

8 seconds is 0.008 milliseconds. Dividing 0.008 with 1 gives you hz rate.

1 : 0.008 = 125

4 milliseconds means 250hz ( 1 : 0.004 = 250)

1000 integer / 125 = 8

Sadly setting it in win7 is a PITA, i have one and im playing @125 :(

I understand your frustration. Watch this video that walks you through doing this on Win 7, you will find it extremely helpful I am sure. I have no idea on how to embed videos but heres the link.

i dont understand your frustration. its explained quite simple: http://www.ngohq.com/news/15043-how-to-increa...a-7-a.html

Here is how I do it and it works every time.

extract hidusbf.zip to C:\Mouse\

run dseo13b, enable test mode
restart
right click on hidusb.inf and choose Install.
run dseo13b, sign a system file
type in location of that hidusb folder C:\Mouse\DRIVER and then the location of the one proper for your OS.
for x64 use \DRIVER\AMD64\HIDUSBF.SYS, for x86 use \DRIVER\NXT86\HIDUSBF.SYS
restart
run setup.exe from hidusbf folder
select filter on device
select desired rate
click install service
close window
restart
run remove watermark for your desired OS
restart

@Anhedonique: Yeah, I meant differences other than the ones you mentioned.. I said that earlier in the original post..

Oh, OTHER than all the things I mentioned?

It can convert to Buddhism, establish a new church and give amazing fellatio.

It's a mouse, what else do you expect from overclocking that wasn't already mentioned?

What I was trying to say was, that if I don't hit the speed limit due to a relatively high sensitivity, and the freaking 0.0000000001 ms delay in the mouse response time doesn't bother me, I'll be find, right?

Don't be so mad, geek.

XXD

WIth that comment you clearly haven't read all of the useful information above. Not only does it reduce the latency between your inputs and the computer responding to them, it also makes the act of tracking much, much smoother, as in when you're tracking an opponent with an lg and so on.

Ever heard of 4chan? This is 4chan for quakers; with some interesting information and insightful viewpoints along the way.

Welcome to esr!

I've said that the mouse response time/latency doesn't bother me.

About the smoothness, I've also asked about it before, that whether 500 hz really makes your movement or not.

So, you're the one who haven't read well obviously.

What's an 'lg' anyway?

You are an idiot and you don't deserve to play on 500 hz. Gtfo and stop posting.

"Online Hero" ! XD

Freaking nerds..

It's way more nerdy to troll nerds in a nerd form..
PLEASE STOP IT :]

Really?...
Really?

Out of all the things you could say....

$$$$$$$$$$$

500HZ!

I couldn't be bothered fucking around to make my mouse 500hz anymore and switched to a deathadder. Ports kept on going dead and the mouse failing etc.

Is it only me that feels the mouse sometimes have different sensitivity? I swear it is. Some times I cant hit shit. Then after I restart it feels so much better. Could it be the usb port that is failing?
I have it overclocked to 500Hz

I have to say. after removing the watermark. The way folders and text looks on the screen also feels different. Slightly off, kind of delay-ish feeling. Am I the only one with this?

I had HUGE issues getting this to work, so if anybody does everything right but it still won't work, please check if you have USB 3.0 or other USB drivers installed and delete them (pre-installed, came with mobo etc.) you do not need those, and they prohibit 500hz from working.

The difference between 125 and 1000 for me was quite large. 500 and 1000 not any different really.

The lag will screw with your aim.
