Diagnose Switch Faults, Scroll Issues, and Polling Rates
Mouse hardware issues—such as double-clicking switches, missed clicks, erratic scroll wheels, or irregular polling rates—can ruin gaming performance and daily productivity. Isolating hardware faults from software lag requires precise, real-time input tracking.
The Mouse Tester captures and measures every physical action your mouse performs, providing instant visual feedback on click accuracy, scroll steps, and sensor responsiveness.
Key Features
- Multi-Button & Side-Click Testing: Verify input registration for left, right, middle (scroll click), and side navigation buttons (
Mouse 4andMouse 5). - Automatic Double-Click Detection: Flag worn-out microswitches by tracking unexpected fast-consecutive click events (often measured in milliseconds) that indicate hardware switch bounce faults.
- Scroll Wheel Direction & Speed Tracking: Measure vertical and horizontal scroll wheel steps, detecting skipping or reversed scrolling inputs.
- Polling Rate & Sensor Monitor: Estimate your mouse's reporting rate (Hz) and track smooth cursor movements to verify sensor stability and prevent input jitter.
- Drag & Hold Test: Test continuous click retention to identify switches that drop inputs mid-drag during click-and-drag operations.
Common Use Cases
- Switch Health Audit: Confirm whether a double-click issue is caused by a failing physical microswitch or mistaken double-click speed settings in your OS.
- Gaming Hardware Setup: Verify that high polling rate settings (e.g., 1000Hz or higher) register accurately without dropping packets or overloading CPU threads.
- New Device Inspection: Test fresh or newly unboxed gaming and ergonomic mice before your return or warranty window closes.
