SKD WIREPartly True
A product claim circulating online states that a gaming mouse supports a polling rate of up to 8,000 Hz in wired mode and up to 1,000 Hz in wireless mode on PC, promising exceptional responsiveness. A review of primary sources found the figure to be partly supported, with some specifications unconfirmed.
The claim asserts that the mouse can deliver a wired polling rate of up to 8 kHz and a wireless polling rate of up to 1 kHz for PC use, framing the high polling rate as a key responsiveness advantage. Polling rate determines how frequently the mouse reports its position to the computer, with higher rates reducing input latency.
An examination of 11 primary sources, including iekoetter.com — which carries the Portico PoW listing — and Google's tooling, returned partial confirmation. Access to some verification tools was hampered by technical errors, and the review concluded with a judgment of "partial fact" (부분 사실).
The wired 8 kHz figure and the wireless 1 kHz figure were consistent with the claim as stated for PC use. However, the tooling errors limited full independent confirmation of every detail, and no additional performance data beyond the stated polling rates was established.
An 8 kHz wired polling rate is markedly higher than the 1 kHz standard found on most conventional mice, and a 1,000 Hz wireless rate matches the typical wired baseline. Both figures, if accurate, would position the device at the high end of the polling-rate spectrum for PC gaming peripherals.
The available evidence supports the core specification of up to 8 kHz wired and up to 1 kHz wireless polling rate on PC, while some verification avenues remained blocked by tooling errors — making the claim Partly True.
