Use the distribution, sample count and dropouts together; a single peak is not the result.
Mouse Browser Event Rate Test
Run a fixed eight-second pointer capture with Low 5%, jitter, stability and dropout evidence.
Mouse movement feels capped, unstable or inconsistent between ports and browsers.
This focused entry uses the shared Mouse protocol. The measurement logic and Evidence version remain identical to the complete lab.
Remove the easiest false alarms first.
Use a desktop browser, keep the tab visible and close high-load tabs.
Move continuously on a stable surface; do not compare a slow trace with a fast trace.
Keep the same browser, Pointer API and connection path for repeat comparisons.
Run one repeatable protocol.
- 01
Keep the tab visible and start the three-second preparation.
- 02
Move in smooth circles for the full eight-second capture.
- 03
Compare the result with three to five compatible local baselines.
Evidence the result should expose.
Separate observed, review and inconclusive.
Repeat under the same motion and load, then compare wired, direct USB and wireless paths one variable at a time.
Browser event rate, click response and pointer capture cannot isolate USB report rate or device-only latency.
Start with the likely path, then retest.
