And what do u recomend then USB or PS2?
Can i get my PS2 to 500Hz?I understand the higher the frequency the better! I think i will use USB but i dony know about that mod!Is it a big difference and can i wreck my motherboard?Is it safe to do that 2 USB?Ty 4 the answers!

I tried the 1000 hz hack, and my USB ports couldn't handle it, you just re-install the backup you made before you changed it, and nothing happenned.
I use USB on all my gaming boxes, I think I'm lazy and there are still one or two that have ps2 adaptors on the mice.
My personal advice on it is to try the ps2 port first, increase the sampling rate to 200 hz and notice the smoothness.
It will be like when you first used an optical mouse, you'll just play with the mouse for a while, hehe.
Settings -> Control Panel -> Mouse -> Hardware -> Properties -> Advanced Settings -> Sample Rate
Make sure you use the ps2 port to try this out.
If you notice a big difference, game on it for a few days, if you like it like that, keep it ps2.
If you want more, I'm sure I can point you in the right direction to hack your USB.
BTW, you'll want a mouserate checker to make sure that you got what you think you do.

Ok i will go for the PS2 rate then!Was going 2 try USB!But if its smooth with PS2 then no need for USB!

TY for the advice!

I thought abouit it and went for USB mode!I dont play very much(not FPS) so i think i wont need the USB hack!Think 125Hz is enought for now!
What do u think should i switch to PS2 and go for 200Hz?Will i notice a slight diference?
I installed the mouse(latest software) on USB so i think switching to PS2 will screw up the mouse drivers...

Any ideas plz?

TY

If you have a PS2 adaptor there's no reason not to use the PS2 port at 200hz, the mouse smoothness is definately noticeable.
Another thing, if you plan to possibly upgrade to the USB hack someday be sure NOT to get a cordless mouse, the receiver won't be able to keep up.
In XP there's no way to screw up the drivers short of hot-swapping the PS2 port.
Now way would I pay $75 for a mouse when you can buy a $8 optical mouse with good DPI, o/c the port it's plugged into, and get better smoothness.

And if i get the mouse on PS2 @ 200Hz will the receiver keep up the pase?

[caz223]

Most likely, it was either designed to work at 125hz, or 250 hz, and it would be certainly no slower than the USB bus, only faster.
The ps2 port is the safe way to most likely all the speed and response you'll need.

Some guy in another forum told me that if i go PS2@200Hz my CPU usage will get higher!! Is that right?

[darksun]

Yea another question!When i dont use it where do i put it?I leave it on the pad or i put in on the station without the powercord,so the mouse dont gets recharded every time i pui it on the station??

I just leave mine on the pad. The mouse will last ~21 days on a full charge, so I don't really worry about that. It has an on/off switch too, which is handy.
