I just bought a Cooler Master Storm Mizer mouse. Unboxing here:
This mouse is not so expensive and has a good specification (8200 DPI and 1000Hz). But by default Linux uses 125Hz polling rate.
You can change it passing the “mousepoll” parameter to usbhid module.
Edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf and add:
options usbhid mousepoll=1
The value 1 means 1 milisecond poll period (1000Hz), 2 milisecond = 500Hz, and so on.
Now remove the usbhid module and load it again to get it working:
$ sudo -s # modprobe -r usbhid && modprobe usbhid
Unplug and plug your mouse again (optional)
Now you can test if everything is working as expected:
$ wget https://github.com/ian-kelling/evhz/raw/master/evhz.c $ gcc -o evhz evhz.c $ sudo -s # ./evhz Press CTRL-C to exit. event0: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard event1: Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse event2: Power Button event3: Sleep Button event4: Lid Switch event5: Power Button event6: PC Speaker event7: Dell WMI hotkeys event8: HDA Digital PCBeep event9: HDA Intel PCH Mic event10: HDA Intel PCH Headphone event11: HDA Intel PCH HDMI/DP,pcm=3 event12: PS/2 Generic Mouse event13: Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse event14: Video Bus event15: Video Bus event16: Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_HD event17: Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse event18: Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse: Latest 500Hz, Average 500Hz Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse: Latest 500Hz, Average 500Hz Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse: Latest 500Hz, Average 500Hz Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse: Latest 1000Hz, Average 625Hz Cooler Master Storm Mizar Mouse: Latest 1000Hz, Average 700Hz
Very nice!
