High-speed validation

Mouse Spin Test

Run quick spin trials to confirm your mouse can report every tiny motion at speed. Circle tightly, then throw fast linear spins to check for skips, jumps, or sudden direction flips.

💡 What is a Mouse Spin Test?

A mouse spin test checks for tracking loss (spin-outs) by moving the mouse rapidly. A good sensor should track high-speed movements perfectly without skipping.

High-Speed Spin Test

Hold your mouse, start the timer, then spin tight circles or fast straight flicks to see if the sensor drops frames.

How to read the results

Clean runs show stable speed and zero anomalies—good news for high-polling mice and low-sensitivity players.
One-off gaps can happen when lifting or pausing. Frequent gaps, jumps, or direction flips signal tracking loss.
If you see repeated anomalies, try another surface, change the USB port, or drop DPI to confirm it isn't a pad or driver issue.
