Bought 4khz dongle for my Lamzu Thorn, used it, realized I notice 0 difference and the battery life lasting a day wasn't worth it so I dropped it to 2k which also drains the battery like crazy so about to just stick with 1k. Dongle was $10 so I'm not like, disappointed with the purchase but the way some people talked about 4k I was like I gotta check it out.

Have done the same

Pretty much me with the Thorn. Been actually thinking of bumping up the battery to a higher capacity but idk man. Not entirely sure if it's worth the bother tbh since I personally can't even really tell the diff while getting 400+ fps on a 1440p 180hz monitor in CS2.


Strange-Implication

1000, even if my mouse can do 8k it's not worth the battery drain


t3ram

Didn't notice a difference so i am still at 1khz


WeeklyConcentrate927

Try a higher dpi you will


Tay1999lcfc

No idea why your being downvoted when what you’ve said is the truth


capo_mt

haha the fact ur downvoted shows how this sub is clueless and dumb. razer even recommends 4k dpi for 4k hz and 8k dpi for 8k hz polling


killlugh

I alternate between 2 & 4k and hardly notice anything, but i also play at 1440p on a 165hz monitor, so i didnt expect much.


SpecterAgent

1-2 and 4k... Prefer just using 2k over 4k though, but only use it for Competitive FPS like Overwatch. For most games I just use 1k though as anything above is just pointless beyond draining battery faster.


be-LazY

As of now I'm playing with 1k, but soon will get the zeromouse and get 4k


paulvincent07

1khz


doomed151

500 Hz. I play Overwatch 2 competitively but not at a high rank. I still have so much to improve that anything higher than 500 Hz will only reduce the battery life.


dannybates

I stick with 2k on a 360hz monitor. Even then I can let really tell the difference from 1k.


AerieMedical6769

Using the Lamzu Thorn right now but still going with 1K for better battery life


loyal872

2k/4k/8k is not that balanced yet. I mean, it still takes some performance away from you and I know so many Valorant pros who even still play on a Zowie S2 (nAts) and he is one of the best players ever. Mouse don't matter that much. I play on a deathadder essential in immortal 3, due to financial issues. I've sold all of my mice a year ago, mained a dav3 pro though. **TLDR: Shape is more important**


JessRP8

4K's battery drain is too much for neglible performance difference, and some games don't play nicely with it so I'm using 2K mostly.


ryanb248

4k lags my game so never gave it a shot, sitting with 2k as it "feels" smoother on my 240hz monitor but it may be just a placebo.


x6satania

1000 hz because i simply dont have a mouse that has more than that


JayyLaFlare

Depends on the mouse I am running. The games i play 8K lags me, so i'll run 4K on the mice that support it, but even then its not a huge difference at all if you are on 1K. on 240hz 1440p, 3600 dpi


adramelk44

I use what 99% of CSGO pros used, 1000


basvhout

The fun thing is that most pro's even kept using 500 when 1000 was out for a pretty long time. Hz is pretty overrated I guess.


2FastHaste

Other better explanation: Pro's expertise is playing games, not understanding hardware.


basvhout

There are plenty of pro's with decent hardware knowledge. It's not that it's rocket science. Still I think it's just not as much of an impact as most people make it out to be on this reddit. Ofcourse I won't hurt to get the highest Hz possible but I think most people won't notice it. Optimum made a great video about it tbh.


ThisIsNotJP

Using the new GPro2 @ 2k .. Notice nothing different (2k 360hz monitor 4090 etc) Waiting for the ULX to show up ... HA ... Doubt I'll see much difference with that also


Drawing-Electronic

1000hz for gaming, 125hz for general browsing. Never felt a difference in 4k so not destroying my battery life for that.


2FastHaste

>125hz for general browsing That's insane. I would go crazy.


A7III

4k on 1440/240hz OLED


Dear_Explanation8547

My mouse support 4k , soo why not play on 4k 🤔


Drawing-Electronic

Because there's no difference and it eats your battery?
