    Game Polling Rate Test

    What is gamepad polling rate?

    Gamepad polling rate is the number of times per second that the computer polls the gamepad for information about its movement and the state of the buttons. It is measured in Hertz (Hz).

    How to test your gamepad polling rate?

    • Prepare for the test:
      • Close unnecessary tabs and applications to reduce the load on the system.
      • Exit power saving mode.
      • Use the Chrome browser due to less throttling of gamepad events.
    • Move your gamepad sticks quickly in a circle or from side to side for 5-10 seconds.
    • Get results with an analysis of the average and maximum polling rate.
