    Mouse/Keypad USB 2.O or 3.0 ?


    so,
    My razer devices: abyssus 3.5g and tartarus have possibly
    been causing me issues in gaming
    the advice from the makers recommend using usb 2 and lowering polling rate mouse to 125Mhz
    how can slowing down the devices help in gaming
    I don't understand

    USB 3.0 simply may be transferring data too fast for USB 2.0 devices that need two-way communication. I ran into a problem when I plugged an older printer into a new computer's USB 3.0 port, printed about 2 inches then failed with a 'lost communication' error, no such problem with a USB 2.0 port.

    A human can not move a mouse or type fast enough to need USB 3.0 speed. A human can't even use all the speed of a USB 2.0.
    Just use the USB 2.0.
