what does it do? refresh timings?

I was going to explain myself but I just found this on razor's site that explains it in a nut shell,

"Polling Rate
It's the number of times the mouse sends reports to the computer every second.
Over USB it's normally 125Hz i.e. 125 times a second. Which means that there's a lag of 1/125th of a second or 8ms between the mouse and the system.

Razer's Polling Rate
Razer's mice sports higher polling rates of 500Hz or more. 500Hz would mean a 2ms lag - an obvious advantage in gaming."

How do i change the polling rate on my Razer, is it just the Sensetivity? or will it be setup automatically to highest rate.

double click on the razor icon that should be on your task bar (bottom right), the option is in there, I think by default mine was set @ 500mhz & 1600dpi.

did saomeone burn out their optical laser though putting it up at 1000dpi with 1000 polling rate?

Microsoft Intelli 3.0, best mouse I've had tbh. Either that or a 518, depends on how big your hands are.

Razer mice don't skip, why do you think they are at the top of the gaming mouse market? lol

If your mouse skips, common sense says its faulty and you should have it replaced.

I posted the wrong pic this is 1.1

Yes i have had mine since around 2002 or even before that cant remember , but still going strong after after all these years of gaming Incredible for such a cheap mouse to last this long.
It's only 400 dpi yet i have never had a problem with it, use it on a wooden surface and it's superb.

Thats just really bad information and totally wrong, how about you back up your claim in someway.

Iv already posted to a link to mouse benchmark that explains in reasonable depth skipping and negative acceleration and which mice suffer from them to various degrees.

Iv owned 2 copperhead mice and 2 habu mice and all have suffered from skipping in a huge way and thats on multiple surfaces.
