What is SteelSeries ExactRate?

Report rate (also known as polling rate) determines the number of reports sent every second by your mouse to your computer. Traditional mice utilize a set number of reports between the mouse and the computer, locked to set figures like 125, 500 or 1000Hz. SteelSeries ExactRate allows you to define a limit to this data and you can allow it to correspond to your in-game frame rate and monitor refresh rate for a consistently smooth mousing experience.

We recommend a reporting rate of 500hz as most gamers believe this is most balanced and consistent.
