Then I used a polling rate of 4kHz for some days. CSGO was stable and my FPS were good. Even the polling rate was stable: If you do use Synapse, you can store an limited number of profiles, including with RGB settings, usable with the software open, and every profile will be able to launch automatically with specific games or other apps. Doing the usual testing (shaking, squeezing, tapping) reveals that this is built really well. Nothing felt loose or annoying, and even when I applied as much pressure as I could the shell did not budge. This is one really nicely built product. Obviously I cannot comment on the actual durability (I don’t test these products for years) but from what I can tell there’s no need to worry. VSyncTester’s HTML/JavaScript mouse input performance benchmark looks at mouse latency. Again, this test is subject to how consistently I can move each mouse, but the Viper 8K Hz managed the best score, usually in the 3.30ms range. The DeathAdder V2 Mini and Burst Pro were both typically in the 3.40ms area, not far behind. I remembered from my study about the IRQ interrupts. I started to read how the interrupts work in Windows 10. I learned about the Message_Signaled_Interrupts. With the tool MSI_util_v3 (thanks to this article message-signal-interrupts-yes-or-no) lists the IRQ number, the type and priority of our peripherals. I discovered that my graphic card and my audio card were using the same IRQ numbers (16). I set the graphic card to use the "msi" type of interrupts:
After a restart to apply this change, I did a new the Polling Rate test with the mouse configured in 8kHz, the results are perfect now: Oh, and just another side note. I know that I wrote a lot – but I’m a professional in the tech field, however, I really, really enjoy studying this stuff in my free time just for some fun (and being that I’m an avid gamer, all of my information is based upon things that I’ve discovered to be facts through my research). I just wanted to include that because nobody ever believes in what I write nowadays and they often state that it’s all lies and/or marketing crap…when the truth is, it isn’t lol. But additionally, the mouse is literally ambidextrous (identical on both sides) – so it’s the perfect product for a left-handed mouse user! I just got mine after having a Logitech G502 (non-ambidextrous mouse) for like….7 years…. And as a right-handed mouse user, I was pretty worried about the ambidextrous design. But after just two days of use, I can confirm that this mouse feels amazing! The only issue is that the buttons on your non-thumb side of the mouse are a bit difficult to reach – but that 8000hz polling rate makes it feel absolutely amazing so long as you computer is beefy enough to push your games at a high refresh rate. But anyway, being that you currently have a mouse that is extremely similar to my G502, you’d probably get adjusted to the Viper in a few days – just like I did. Note: I have to configure the graphic card to use the MSI type of interrupts after every update of the NVIDIA drivers One very important caveat is that you need some decently beefy gear to reap the rewards: the 8Khz polling rate will make your PC work harder and unless you’re gaming on a high refresh rate monitor the advantages of the high polling rate will not be tangible at all. There’s also the fact that not all games support this kind of polling rate, so you might not get the full benefit from this tech for quite a while. Consider it an early adopter tax.For testing, I also set the laptop to use its discrete GPU only and put the CPU and GPU on boost modes in the laptop’s Synapse software to further fight latency. 8,000 Hz Polling Rate Testing
power options changed, to max, perfomance, all power adjusted not to turn off any hardware, in this case mouse. Also adjusted settings in device manager that pc would not disable power to mouse to save energy. EU Declaration of Conformity for Abyssus Lite & Goliathus Mobile Construct Ed. Bundle (RZ83-0273).pdf If it truly had any practical applications in gaming, then the highest DPI settings would be used by every eSports player,” Razer boldly states in its reviewer’s guide. Instead, the vendor thinks the combination of the Viper 8K Hz’s sensor, plus fast switches and polling rate will yield desired gameplay. Let me first say that this 8KHz isn’t some sort of ‘advanced edition’ of the regular Viper. It costs the same amount of money (at least at MSRP: of course local prices can vary) and is meant to just outright replace the regular Viper. To me that’s the right decision: it ensures that more people will get their hands on this new technology and it’s also a way for Razer to say ‘we think that this is the future.’ For wired mice, at least. Slapping this tech in a wireless mouse just isn’t feasible right now according to some Razer representatives, so I wouldn’t hold my breath waiting for a Viper Ultimate 8KHz anytime soon in case you were wondering about that. since this is ambidextrous, theres 4 total side buttons, one set on each side. Coming from a mouse with 3 side buttons and the way I had things mapped, I assumed I would be able to map all 4 buttons. wrong. the buttons are M4/M5 on each side. you have to choose if you are right or left handed in the app and that sets which side is being used and how they're numbered. kind of a bummer here but this is a personal issue not necessarily reflective of razer. coming from more to less is situational. I would just like that extra personalization.With a polling rate of 8kHz in CSGO I had extreme stuttering. The game was lagging moving the mouse. The issue was even more extreme using a VOIP application (Teamspeak or Discord). so far, it's been about 2 weeks. this mouse is ultra light to me coming from a steelseries rival 600. the steelseries was slightly over 100 grams so it's almost 30 gram difference. this weighing in at 74. I didn't really expect it to affect my or even be noticeable. boy was I wrong. instantly lighter and the feet on this mouse glide so smoothly. The 8k polling rate. this provides an extremely smooth mouse movement. this may be different from person to person. maybe mouse pads make a huge difference I have a relatively cheap one atm. One issue I've run into is Apex legends WILL NOT run a polling rate over 2000 on a 144 hz monitor. or at least not on mine. rainbow six siege I can crank to 8k and no issues. so maybe its game/display/system dependent I dont have a way to test it. Following the update to Test Bench 1.2, some of our test results have changed within both the Weight and CPI sections. We've added or modified some of the text in this article to clarify these changes. Razer sees the increased polling rate as bringing a greater advantage in gaming, specifically around improving aim and synced-up shots. And that advantage is perceived as being greater than what a higher CPI spec provides, which Razer admits may not yield usable advantages.
Great Deal
