Is it bad to Hack your mouse?

[iSkylla]

I have my mouse running at 1000Hz instead of the default 100 Hz. Is this bad for the mouse?

not sure about the mouse but probably not too good for it.. if its usb.. now that could be a bigger problem.. but then I could be totally wrong.

I've been running my mice at 1000hz instead of 125 for over a year now and the only side effect I've had so far was an increase in precision.

Should I up to to 2000Hz?

1000hz is the max; there is no such thing as 2000hz. You might be talking about 2000 dpi.

And there is no side effect. If your mouse can take 1000hz, then more power to you. The issue you might have is that OTHER USB devices may not like the 1000hz and you'll get all kinds of errors, and, in rare cases, might even corrupt the OS.

True, but it's still [H]F, that's a chance we should all be willing to take!
