Latencies of all kinds
Now let’s get to the real issue. Are the 8,000 Hz now an added value or not? To do that, let’s look at my latency measurements. I measured from 1,000 to 8,000 Hz in the selectable levels. Additionally, I measured the latency with the dongle and of course in Bluetooth mode. I was a bit surprised that there is a two millisecond difference between 1,000 Hz USB and 1,000 Hz dongle. This does not mean that the connection with dongle is entirely slow. With a dongle, the ROG Chakram X is still one of the fastest mice.
It was basically mathematically calculable. And can also be measured at the end. Because 1,000 Hz is known to be 1 ms sampling rate and at 8,000 Hz it is still 0.125 ms. Thus, the distance is about one millisecond. Or in other words, the 8,000 Hz reduce the latency by one millisecond. This is not the hammer and certainly not a must-have for everyone. I see the added value with the eSportsmen. Especially from this point of view, see picture:
This fact ends up making the mouse’s movements even more precise, and that can definitely be an advantage. If the game of choice supports 8,000 Hz hyper-polling as well. I am currently only aware of Valorant. It is a fact that the 8,000 Hz should not only be related to the click latency.
Latency comparison
In direct comparison to the mice I’ve tested so far, the Chakram X and the Chakram Core are unchallenged at the top of the food chain. At 1,000 Hz polling rate, both are equally up. But we now also know that the Chakram X can still be a millisecond faster.
Interesting comparison or not? It is once again confirmed that there is no latency disadvantage when playing with a dongle. The Chakram X was consistently the 2 ms slower (with dongle vs. cable) than the other mice so far. But with the 16 ms, it is always ahead of the other rodents and on par with the USB-bound Logitech G203. On the subject of blue tooth: can be done while working – or in an emergency. For general gaming? Not recommended! Let’s come to the end for today…
