With 240 Hz displays you probably want your mouse polling setting at 4000 or better 8000 Hz. This tool lets anyone confirm that on their hardware.

That's a recent invention. Only the latest gaming mice can poll at that rate, and not particularly well on USB2. They're usually limited to 1000.
Neat tool, though. I'm also very sensitive towards latency.

Of course, that's necessary. Many USB ports "designated" for keyboard and mice are still only USB 1.1, and my post should have said
unless
on USB 2. You need USB 2 in both the mouse/adaptor and port to get full performance.
