Comment The fragmaster- what do hz do? (Score 1) 13

hz = times per second. Evidently, your mouse only sends to the computer a certain amount of times a second (with serial) by default. This isn't usually a problem, but with the speed of games like quake you might be going at 70 fps while your mouse is only sending 20 times a second, causing a bit of chopiness. I haven't used a USB mouse, but I think you'd have to be REALLY anal to notice the difference I think. Anyways his program makes his serial mouse update as often as a USB mouse.. I read that you can tell the difference if you bind some keys to look up and down, and then compare that to moving your mouse. the keyboard isnt limited like the mouse.. i think it's all horse shit.. just get a good mouse pad and a Logitech :)
