Increasing mouse refresh rate

[Cheese Weasel 0]

Does anyone know of any programs or regristry hacks that will bump up the mouse refresh rate in Windows 2000? Thanks.

If you're using a PS/2-style mouse, the old PS/2 mouse hack may work. If a USB mouse, I have no idea. You can get the PS/2 mouse hack from most gaming websites, or at least a link to it.

btw, such a "hack" is built into Win2000

 

Just go into the Device Manager | Mouse | Properties | Advanced Settings | Sample Rate (offers 20/40/60/80/100 reports per second)

something i read the other day..this one u can bump up to 200 :

PS2 Port Hertz Adjustment

Any real gamer is annoyed by an inaccurate mouse. A slow refresh rate on the PS2 port will make the mouse be less accurate. This will make the pointer move more smoothly across the screen. Sorry Windows 9x users, this is for only NT Users.

Find the key below and open the “SampleRate” and set the value to a higher number, as high as 200. The higher the number the smoother the mouse flow, but also the CPU usage will go up.

 

KEY: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\i8042prt\Parameters

Entry: SampleRate

Data: 0-200, default is 60, Higher is Better

Data Type: REG_DWORD

Entry: SampleRate

Data Type: REG_DWORD

 

nagual, is does this work in Win2k also? And if so, does the SampleRate entry exist, or is it something that you must create?
