Hello

I have a Logitech MX518 and I'm using a Steelpad QcK mousepad.
I have a problem with my mouse rate.

- Why is it capped at 200hz with PS/2 and 125hz with USB ?

- What does mouse rate really affect ?

Thanks for your answers.

See you Cool

Change ps/2 rate is impossible, u can change usb rate. My suggestion is: connect ur mause to usb, use Mouserate Switcher and change rate to 500 Hz (it's optimal for logitech mx 510/518), reboot and HF Cool

I highly doubt your ps2 mouse can handle >250 hz.
