Mouse Sampling in Win2000

Recommended Posts

Is there any way to change the mouse sampling rate in W2k? Going from 200hz in NT4 to 60hz in NT5 kind of sucks.

Yes you can in your mouse properties, if you have a standard ps/2 mouse. I, however, have the Intellimouse explorer optical usb thing and can't change it in the mouse properties. But it's smooth enough =)

You can change the sample rate w/o any 3rd party programs by doing this:

 

Control Panel / Mouse / Hardware tab / Properties button / Advanced Settings tab

 

There's a sample rate field that only goes up to 100, and an input buffer length field. The help on the input buffer field says increase if you have erratic mouse movements. I increased both of these to the max and it fixed some erratic problems I was having in Q3 and Draken. (Well, I'm still having some probs in Draken but it's tolerable now.)
