The ASUS ROG Polling Rate Booster is an innovative accessory designed to enhance the responsiveness of compatible ROG wireless mice and keyboards by achieving up to a true 8000Hz polling rate. This significant increase in data transmission frequency minimises input latency, providing smoother cursor movements and more precise control, especially beneficial when paired with high-refresh-rate monitors. The device offers versatile connectivity options, allowing for both wireless and wired setups without the need for additional receivers. By reducing delays between user actions and on-screen responses, the ROG Polling Rate Booster delivers a competitive edge in gaming scenarios where every millisecond counts.

Enhance Every Move
Elevate your wireless precision and performance with the ROG Polling Rate Booster. Featuring a true 8000 Hz wireless polling rate, this tiny accessory is an ROG-exclusive solution that helps gamers unlock new levels of cursor control and minimalised latency on their compatible ROG mouse and keyboards – without the need for an additional receiver.
Stay Ahead with Minimal Delays
The ROG Polling Rate Booster transmits wireless data at higher frequencies from your keyboard or mouse to your device. Compared to the standard 1000 Hz rate, gaming with a 4000 Hz or 8000 Hz polling rate means that cursor positions or keyboard inputs are significantly up-to-date, which translates to minimal delays between your movements and what is registered on screen.
This heightened level of responsiveness can provide you with a mechanical edge during critical moments in the game, ensuring that every in-game action is executed precisely as you intend.
Seamless Syncing
The benefits of a higher polling rate is much more pronounced when playing on high-refresh-rate monitors. Reducing the delays between cursor data input and each display frame also effectively minimalises the inconsistencies in between the intervals of registered data polls. This results in much smoother, more accurate swiping and tracking, giving you better control over your manoeuvres.
Industry-Leading Wireless Performance
The ROG Polling Rate Booster offers up to a true 8000 Hz report rate in both wireless and wired modes. When paired with the ultralow latency ROG SpeedNova wireless technology, the ROG Polling Rate Booster drive performance further to deliver the least possible delay in the industry.
- With the Polling Rate Booster - 0.5 ms Average Latency (40.6% Faster!)
- Without the Polling Rate Booster - 0.842 ms Average Latency

Connect Any Way You Want
Due to the heavy loads of higher data reporting frequencies, the ROG Polling Rate Booster performs optimally when it is within a 60 cm range, with minimal to no obstructions in between the device and the Booster.
The ROG-exclusive design allows players to adapt the Booster to any PC set up.
Upgrade Your Favourite ROG Devices
The design of the ROG Polling Rate Booster allows you to enjoy higher performance without the need for an additional receiver. Simply plug in the receiver of your compatible ROG mouse or keyboard to unleash its potential.
Tips for Achieving Optimal Performance with ROG Polling Rate Booster
Ensure that all Relevant System Versions are Up to Date
Peripherals
The firmware of your peripheral device needs to be up to date to access this functionality. View your peripherals’ current version of firmware and available updates in Armoury Crate Gear or Armoury Crate.
PC
Make sure your PC is running the latest version of Windows 11 (Windows 11 Moment 3 - KB5027303) to enable optimisations made specifically for devices with enhanced polling rates.
Unlocking Room for Greater Potential
More 2.4 GHz Bandwidth
Swap other devices over to wired mode, or switch them to Bluetooth® mode when applicable.
Reduce CPU Loads
Disable any non-essential applications or software running in the background.
Priming Your Gaming Environment
Set Polling Rate
Configure the optimal polling rate (2K / 4K / 8K) through Armoury Crate based on your preference and your system capabilities.
Choose Your Game
We recommend using high polling rates with the following supported game titles, such as Counter-Strike 2, VALORANT, Overwatch 2, League of Legends and more, with relevant in-game settings enabled.
*Please note that some older game titles may not be capable of supporting higher polling rates.
