Comments on: MOUSE optimization — 1000 hz mouse polling on 64 bit systems.

@GunnerySergeant
Your workaround removes the optimized usb driver so you’re back to the default (125 Hz) driver. Does someone have a real workaround to make this work on win7 x64?

Thanks a lot! this works great. I’m running win 7 x64 build 7601 and my latency chart is 0.97 ms.

Those instructions did not work for me and resulted in my mouse not working. I’m running Windows 7 64bit build 7601. How I fixed:

–Plugged my mouse into a different USB port to get it working
–Went Start>Control Panel>Device Manager and entered Device Manager
–Clicked on little arrow beside ‘Human Interface Devices’ and also ‘Mice and other pointing devices’
to expand the tree and list all the stuff under those headings
–In Device Manager menu bar I clicked on ‘Action’ to drop down the menu and positioned cursor over ‘Scan for hardware changes’
–Now that I had that all set up, visible and ready to go
–I unplugged my mouse and plugged it into the USB port that was not working then hit Enter because I had, in the previous step, positioned the cursor over ‘Scan for hardware changes’
–It scanned for hardware changes. I noticed a yellow exclamation point beside my mouse under ‘Human Interface Devices’
–I used tab, directional keys and Enter to navigate now as mouse isn’t working yet
–I directional keyed down to my mouse with the yellow exclamation point beside it and hit Enter
–Mouse properties window pops open and under ‘Device status’ it tells me my mouse isn’t working (duh!) basically because the HIDUSBF driver isn’t signed
–So I tab and directional key over to ‘Driver’ then ‘Uninstall’ and then hit ‘Enter’
– A ‘Confirm Device Uninstall’ window opens up and I use tab to ensure ‘Delete the driver software for this device’ is highlighted by the dotted line box around it and then I hit ‘Enter’
–A window pops up briefly and disappears
–I unplug my mouse for a few seconds and plug it back in to same USB port that was previously not working and.…
–SUCESS!!

ok well you Un Check that box and you get your mouse back. but run DIMR again, and you get your mouse back because youve uninstalled the program if you read the (filter) box description. un checked you get your mouse. checked, you have a low latency mouse that you cant use. zzz

I followed step by step, and the little measuring app shows 500 polling rate, but as soon as i disable test mode, my mosue doesnt work anymore.i tried unpluging, restartg, etc.

win764, the mouse is diamondback3g.

any ideas?

uh, well. it’ll help with response time. which is very important in all FPS games. i’m actually a counter-strike player myself, which is why i researched mouse-polling and came out with this guide. but yeah, if you can cutaway your latency, even by a few milliseconds, it can help.

with that said, tweaking your mouse won’t make you a superstar, either. at the end of the day, if you can’t aim, nothing will help you.

if you can’t find setup.exe, you did not extract HIDUSBF.ZIP properly.

thanks for sharing that tip, emm. i think it’ll help others with the problem.

It does work on xp x64 using the 64 bit files but the 32 bit instructions, because xp x64 doesn’t have driver signing requirements like vista and w7 x64 do.

Also, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with xp x64 despite all the bad press it got at release (mostly due to poor drivers available at the time).

there have been cases where certain mouse brands/types are incompatible with this patch. what kind of mouse do you have?

just unplug your mouse and plug it back in. if it still doesn’t respond, just reboot. should fix it.
