## What it is
A Windows driver and utility for overclocking (or downclocking) the USB polling rate of mice and other HID devices, from Windows 98 through Windows 11 including x64. It patches system USB drivers like USBPORT.SYS and USBXHCI.SYS to raise polling rates beyond default limits on selected devices only.

## Use cases
- increase usb mouse polling rate beyond 1000hz
- overclock gaming mouse polling rate on windows
- reduce mouse input latency by raising usb polling rate
- change polling rate for a specific usb device without affecting others
- downclock usb device polling rate
- overclock gamepad or keyboard polling rate

## When to choose
- you want to raise your mouse's USB polling rate on Windows for competitive gaming
- you need per-device polling rate changes rather than system-wide
- you run legacy Windows versions (98 through 11) and need broad OS support

## When to avoid
- you use non-Microsoft USB 3.x stacks or newest Microsoft drivers where overclocking may fail
- you cannot or will not disable Memory Integrity on Windows 10/11 x64
- you need a signed, officially supported driver or a license-guaranteed tool
- you are on Linux or macOS
