hi guys,

i need a new mouse. the problem with this is that is am extremely picky when it comes to mice, in particular ergonomics and other stuff. the only mouse that has all the features i am looking for and acceptable ergonomics is one that has a default 1000hz polling rate and no option to use any lower polling rate in its driver menus. from experience with other mice i know that my machine doesnt really cope well with 1k hz polling rates, it creates occasional but severe keyboard lag.

therefore i want to ask u, the great tl community, if any1 of u knows a way of manually downclocking the mouse polling rate on a windows 7 64bit machine without having to permanently run in windows test mode.

I think there was a program for that... Out of curiosity - what mouse did you choose?

EDIT: I found this guide on the internet, hope it helps. On the forum they said it should work for Win7 64:
1. Download Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider from this link.
2. Download HIDUSBF (attached below as hidusbf.zip).
3. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and choose Enable Test Mode.
4. Extract HIDUSBF to some folder, right click on HIDUSBF.inf and choose Install.
5. Run Setup.exe from HIDUSBF’s folder, check the Filter on Device box and select your desired sample rate.
6. Run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider again, choose Sign a System file and insert full path to the installed HIDUSBF.sys file (For example: C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\HIDUSBF.sys).
7. Restart your computer and enjoy.
8. Verify by using Mouse Rate or DirectInput Mouse Rate (attached below as mouserate.exe and dimr.exe)
9. If you would like to remove the test mode watermark, run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider and choose Watermark removal.
