The COUGAR Revenger's PMW 3360 optical sensor is the ultimate enhancement of a respected sensor lineage as it shows in its performance. The Cougar Revenger offers gamers fine-adjustment from 100 to 12,000DPI and is equipped with a PMW 3360 optical sensor offering a 1,000Hz polling rate and 1ms response time.

Other features of the Cougar Revenger RGB optical gaming mouse include six programmable buttons that offer access to over 21 different functions, as well as an internal 512 kb memory to allow you to store up to 3 different configuration files that are then transportable with the mouse wherever it may go.

The mouse is supplied with Cougar’s own software solution, the UIX Systemand also uses two-zone RGB backlighting that lets you know what configuration profile you're using. Revenger's two zones are located near the Cougar logo and the three-Stage DPI LED display. It's available from sellers like Amazon and Newegg for roughly $60. That's the same as the 550M that the Revenger is supposed to succeed in Cougar's gaming mouse lineup.

A polling rate of 1000hz is the limit of the USB interface itself. If manufacturers thought there was a need for more than 1000 input refreshes per second they would have to invent a new physical connector with a completely different driver stack in the HAL.

No they wouldn't have too. Just a driver/firmware change.

There's an experimental USB Filter driver that allows you to go up to 8000 Hz on USB 3.0 ports with existing 2.0 mice. Doesn't work with all mice though, some are capped at the firmware level.

1 ms extra delay from input is fine for nearly everything, it'd matter only to the most hardcore FPS and fighting game players, and even then that's such a tiny difference compared to all the other delays that it doesn't matter much at all.

What I have a beef with is console controllers, they use a polling rate of 250 so it had 4 ms extra delay, that actually is just enough to matter. Considering how common it is to use them for fighting games that's absurd at the pro level. Yeah I know they're typically locked at 60 fps, and that's what they're played at, at tournaments, making 1 frame ~16.67 ms... but believe me the pros can feel that extra 4 ms. Source: I used to play with pro players every week.

I somehow missed your post. Got a link by any chance?
