mouse properties

[zodiac_hl]

my mouse works fine,execept i think my batterys are going dead anyways i was looking thru the mouse properties and just wondering what these do.
sample rate:100 reports / second
input buffer length:100 packets
these are the default.

the sample rate is how manytimes the mouse cursor refreshes on the screen. Try setting it to a low number, say 50. Then move the mouse across the screen kinda fast and keep your eyes on the pointer, it looks like stop motion doesnt it? then set it to a high value, like 200 if permitted, and try again. Its much smoother now, right?

thats all that does.

i dont know about the buffer length though
