Vista usbport.sys 500hz mouse polling rate.
- Thread starter JN
- Start date
Just did this hack, works great on x86 Vista Ultimate. Tried both the 1000Hz and 500Hz, both work as advertised, to the T with the guide.
However, at first I thought it didn't work. Much to my surprise, my brand new Logitech V450 Cordless Laser mouse will barely budge above 125Hz, I think it hit 130Hz. I tried all different ports on my laptop, same deal. Then I plugged in my 4-5 year old Logitech MX300 Cord Laser mouse, and it worked as advertised by the hacked version of the usbport.sys, and on the same USB ports I tried the V450 on. So if you're not nudging about the 125Hz, it may not be the hacks or the USB port's fault...could just be your mouse.
BTW thanks for the hack and guide XMS

I got everything going correctly and I'm using Vista 32 bit with an MX518.
After the switch my mouse in games is slow and inconsistent with reaction and movement
I used the 500hz one and just moving my mouse around on the mouserate program its going anywhere from 80 to 1600 hz, mostly above 1200. This wide of a change is horrible when trying to play something.
Anyone know what might be the problem? Is there a way to lock it at a hz level and not go above or below?
Thanks

Ok, It works, but I like to tell you guys how I did it:
- Go to the file usbport.sys in "c:\windows\system32\drivers"
- right-click on it and go to "properties"
- go to the security TAB --> and now to advanced
- change the owner in YOU --> push "apply"
- go back to security TAB
- give yourself all delegations ->> push "apply"
Now you can just copy/paste the file you like to use.....
Please let me know what you think of this oppurtunity
(sorry for my English if its not 100% ....im dutch)

Hello again, Well I managed to ask Razor for support in upping the polling rate in their drivers on the Razor Diamondback. I received this email from the staff.
Hi,
It is not possible to change the polling rate on the Razer Diamondback.
Thank you for supporting Razer.
Best Regards,
Razer Customer Support

Seems they were slightly off on that as Ive applied the patch and reporting a 500 polling rate with the Razor Diamondback.
Thanks again XMS!
Might try the 1000 patch next
Would anyone mind sending the 500hz and 1000hz files for vista x32? cause i unzipped with winrar, and only got 1 950kb file.

Thanks. = )

name='jiffz' said:I've not tried this polling rate business, so any advantage over the enemy is a good thing
Is there like a patch I could try for XP or is it simple to change manually?
All it is mate is a patch that lets you choose from rates of 250 500 or 1000 and all you have to do is install the patch (it recomends in safe mode) but i just wacked it in and seems fine for me, after that just reboot ur pc, theres also a small program which shows you what rate ur currently using so u can check if its worked etc

Thats what i used last time before I changed the rate in the Windows set up via nLite.
Just Install the USB Mouserate Switcher 1.1, follow instructions and then test weather it has worked with USB Mouserate.
Edit: this is for Windows XP 32bit.
