Mouse Refresh Rate

[nehalmistry]

the mouse cursor is very choppy and can be drastically improved

for PS/2 mice you can use the program ps2 rate found here,

but unfortunately i have a serial mouse, is there a program that can do the same thing for me.... help appreciated...

No, there isn't anything like that for the serial port. BTW MeMPS2 is a much better program, and the newer microsoft/logitech drivers have such a function built-in by default.

Hunsow, how do you access this built-in functionality, if you want to up the frequency from the default 80 Hz?
I'm using IntelliPoint 3.2

[Hunsow]

If I remember correctly there is a slider somewhere in the preferences. I'm using USB so I can't check. It might also be possible to do it with the device manager (in the system properties), just rightclick on the mouse there and choose properties.

[Sisyfos]

I've checked the places you suggest, but there's nothing there.
I seem to remember I saw it once in v3.1, but at that time I had it on USB.
I only noticed it because after some DOS Partition Magic on PS2 I forgot to move it back, and I didn't play with it (the settings that is).
Well, I'm kind of ambivalent about which plug to choose. At the moment I choose PS2, because my CUSL2 is slow as hell (5 sec. in hell) at boot if I use USB.

I've got an usb mouse and using the ps/2 mouse sampling rate give the mouse a personal intelligency.
Try it!!

If you're still looking for the 'overclocking' of the PS/2 port for logitech mice, open up the Mouse Control Panel Applet go to the Motion tab and at the top is speed and acceleration, I believe the acceleration will change the PS/2 sample rate. It's right next to a sider for the speed Hunsow, which is probably what you were thinking of but it is radio buttons.
