The quality of your mouse sensor directly impacts your precision and consistency in gaming and design work. This tool helps you measure key aspects of sensor performance:
Use this test to identify potential issues with your mouse sensor and make informed decisions about your gaming peripherals.
Move your mouse in different patterns to test how accurately your sensor tracks movement. Try drawing circles, straight lines, and quick movements.
This test measures unwanted cursor movement when your mouse is stationary. Keep your mouse completely still on a flat surface during the test.
This test detects if your mouse sensor artificially straightens your movements. Try to draw horizontal and diagonal lines to see if they become unnaturally straight.
This test measures at what height your mouse sensor stops tracking. Slowly lift your mouse while moving it slightly to determine the lift-off distance.
High-quality sensors track movement precisely, with minimal deviation between your hand movement and cursor position. Gaming mice typically offer better tracking accuracy than office mice.
Jitter refers to unwanted cursor movement when the mouse is stationary. Premium sensors minimize jitter, providing stable cursor positioning even on imperfect surfaces.
Some sensors artificially straighten your mouse movements, which can affect precision in design work and gaming. High-end gaming mice typically avoid angle snapping to preserve natural movement.
This is the height at which your mouse stops tracking when lifted. A lower lift-off distance is generally preferred for gaming, as it prevents unwanted cursor movement when repositioning your mouse.
