What is Keyboard Polling Rate?
Keyboard Polling Rate refers to the number of times a keyboard sends data to the computer per second, measured in Hz. It directly affects the response speed of keyboard input and is one of the important indicators to measure keyboard performance.
For example: 125Hz means the keyboard sends data to the computer 125 times per second, with an interval of about 8ms between each transmission; 1000Hz means sending 1000 times per second, with an interval of only 1ms, which can transmit key information more quickly.
Why is Polling Rate Important?
Keyboards with high polling rates have obvious advantages in the following scenarios:
-
Gaming Scenarios
Especially in shooting and competitive games, faster response speed may bring operational advantages
-
High-Speed Input
For typists and programmers during fast input, it can reduce input delay
-
Precise Operation
In scenarios requiring continuous and fast key presses (such as music production, professional control), high polling rates can ensure the accuracy of commands
Comparison of Different Polling Rates
| Polling Rate (Hz) | Response Interval (ms) | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| 125 | 8 | Daily office work, basic usage |
| 250 | 4 | Light gaming, general text input |
| 500 | 2 | Moderate gaming, fast text processing |
| 1000 | 1 | Competitive gaming, professional high-speed input |
