Mouse polling rate? Higher or lower?

[Oxicoi]

Mouse is M712 RGB Octopus from Redragon and they have a polling rate in their software that I've never seen before.

I can go from 125Hz-1000Hz.

I looked it up and from what I could tell, is it response time?

EDIT: I looked here and someone said the higher, the more CPU usage????

The mouse polling rate's impact depends on how high you set it. The higher the polling rate, the less lag/jitter you may have while using the mouse. This should clear things up. https://www.howtogeek.com/182702/mouse-dpi-and-polling-rates-explained-do-they-matter-for-gaming/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2jf1rPYPmU
