Mouse Test

Every button, both wheel directions, live movement.

Reports per second

Reports per second is what the browser passes on, not the polling rate of the mouse. A 1000 Hz mouse commonly shows a few hundred here, which is normal.

How to test a mouse

  1. 1 Move the pointer into the pad and use every button once. A button turns amber while held and green once it has been seen, so anything still grey never arrived.
  2. 2 Scroll both ways. The two wheel counters separate a wheel that is dirty in one direction from one that has stopped entirely.
  3. 3 Move around the pad and watch the reports per second. A number that collapses while you move steadily points at a cable, a dying battery or a surface the sensor cannot read.
  4. 4 Side buttons only register if the operating system maps them to back and forward. If your mouse has extra buttons bound to macros, no browser can see them.

Frequently asked questions

Why does nothing happen when I use the buttons inside the pad?
Because the pad refuses every browser gesture: the context menu on right click and the back and forward navigation on the side buttons. Otherwise testing button four would take you off the page. Outside the pad everything behaves normally.
Is reports per second the same as polling rate?
No, and the difference matters. A mouse polls its sensor up to a thousand times a second, but browsers coalesce those into far fewer events. Use this figure to spot dropouts, not to verify a 1000 Hz claim.
My side buttons do nothing here.
Browsers only see side buttons when the system maps them to back and forward. Manufacturer software that binds them to macros or shortcuts hides them from every web page.
The pointer jumps around while I move slowly.
That is usually the sensor rather than the browser: a glossy or transparent surface, dust on the lens, or a battery low enough to drop reports. Try a plain mat before suspecting the mouse.
