Controller Polling Rate Overclock (hidusbf) Latency Calculator
Calculate input latency reduction, USB transmission intervals, and compatibility across DualSense, DualShock 4, and Hall Effect controllers.
Hardware & Driver Diagnosis
Overclock Verified (1.0ms)DualSense PS5 controller running with LordOfMice hidusbf filter driver at 1000Hz drops button press and analog stick registration time from 4.0ms down to 1.0ms. In high-speed rotational aim-assist tracking, your right stick registers micro-corrections 3 milliseconds earlier per frame.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is controller polling rate overclocking (LordOfMice hidusbf)?
By default, Windows communicates with USB HID gamepads at standard 125Hz (8.0ms polling interval) or 250Hz (4.0ms). LordOfMice's open-source 'hidusbf' filter driver forces the Windows USB host controller to poll the gamepad endpoint at 1000Hz (1.0ms interval), cutting controller input lag by up to 7 milliseconds.
Can Xbox controllers (Series X|S, One, Elite 2) be overclocked to 1000Hz?
No. Microsoft Xbox controllers operate through the proprietary Xbox GIP / XInput protocol. The internal firmware on genuine Xbox controllers is hard-locked to 125Hz (8.0ms interval) on Windows. Attempting to force hidusbf on an Xbox controller will fail or cause USB disconnect loops.
Why do PS4 and PS5 controllers have lower latency on Bluetooth than default USB?
Sony's DualShock 4 and DualSense controllers communicate over Bluetooth at a native polling interval of ~1.25ms (800Hz) when paired with a clean Intel/Broadcom Bluetooth adapter. On wired USB without overclocking, Windows caps them at 250Hz (4.0ms). Overclocking USB with hidusbf brings wired polling down to a rock-solid 1000Hz (1.0ms).
Is controller overclocking bannable in esports or anti-cheat engines (Vanguard, EAC, Ricochet)?
No. The hidusbf driver is a standard signed Windows kernel-mode USB filter driver modifying USB request timing. Anti-cheat systems like Call of Duty Ricochet, Fortnite Easy Anti-Cheat, and Apex Legends allow it, and professional CDL and ALGS controller players universally use 1000Hz overclocked gamepads.
