Asus and MSI look to outmuscle Razer with new 8KHz polling mice

Up until now, Razer was the only brand with wireless 8KHz gaming mice on the market, enabled through a special Hyperspeed dongle and software update released late last year. At CES 2024, multiple brands are now releasing high polling rate mice, but should this factor into what mouse you buy?

We reviewed the Razer Viper V3 Hyperspeed just after its 8KHz polling rate was enabled, and found it to be one of the best gaming mouse choices on the market as a result. In reality, the polling rate played a very small part in my overall enjoyment of the Viper V3, and that's simply because polling rates are not the game-changers they're advertised to be, yet. MSI, Cherry, and Asus ROG are now all throwing their 8KHz mice into battle, which still makes for some difficult decisions ahead.
