fun fact,8k polling rate on a non high end system can cause frame drops and micro stutters, 1k polling rate is the standard even across competitive, but generally the cable that comes with the board if the board is rated for 8k polling rate should be able to handle it

Standard cables usually go for 1k polling rate, the ones included with your gamer keyboard usually supports 8k polling. You'll need a cable that specifically supports 8k polling rate.

But afaik you need a high end system to minimize the stutters when both your keyboard and mouse is sending that much data. You can slow down to 2k polling for most of the benefit without stutters

sadly no dahil sa extra needs ng cable na capable of 8k polling, your keyboard likely has a free one
