Most normal keyboards, mice, and USB HIDs report events at a rate of 125 hz == 8 ms between reports.
Gaming mice usually go up to 1000 Hz / 1ms, the wireless ones usually let you configure down to 500/250/125 Hz if you want a bit more battery life. I'm sure that gaming keyboards also have a high refresh rate.
If you have a 144 Hz monitor that actually means your (normal) keyboard and mice are reporting events less often than your display is updating.
- formerly_proven 5y agoA lot of gaming hardware is trash. 1000 Hz on the package, endless latency inside, buggy firmware, buggier and resource-hogging companion apps, which are always Windows-only, and there are still even "gaming keyboards" which are 2KRO, bad materials and so on That being said pretty much any 1000 Hz mouse is better than any 125 Hz mouse when using high refresh rates because the discrepancy between the 125 Hz mouse poll rate and the 120 or 144 Hz display causes very noticeable jitter. If you have a mouse where the poll rate can be adjusted, this can be easily A/B tested; it's quite visible in high-framerate recordings as well (this can be done in OBS by using the fractional frame rate selector and just inputting 144:1).
