Questions, answered
What polling rate do I need for FPS?
1000Hz is the baseline and fine for most players. 8000Hz polling, as on the DeathAdder V3, reduces input latency further but demands a fast CPU to keep up. Diminishing returns apply past 1000Hz for most systems.
Should FPS players avoid heavy mice?
Generally yes. Above 90g, flick shots and sustained tracking cost more effort, which shows up as fatigue late in sessions. The G502 Hero's 121g is a deliberate tradeoff for buttons, not an FPS choice.
Does shape matter more than weight for aim?
They compound. A comfortable shape you can control precisely beats a lighter mouse that cramps your hand. That is why the DeathAdder V3 exists alongside the Superlight 2: same weight class, different hands.
