My mouse (ASUS ROG GX850) has three options for polling rate - 125Hz, 500Hz and 1000Hz and for some reason the default is 125Hz. So I'm wondering if there's ever any reason that a lower polling rate would be preferable? Why give a choice and not just always run at 1000Hz?
Also, and this may answer my own question (though I doubt it), I've noticed that at 1000Hz I get coil whine from my mobo / CPU (not sure where it comes from?) when I'm moving the mouse. At 500Hz it's less noticeable and at 125Hz I don't hear any coil whine.
