3. Zowie / Vaxee / Driverless Esports Mice

Many competitive esports mice do not use desktop software. Instead, polling rate is adjusted via physical base buttons or plug-in key combinations:

  • Zowie EC / FK / ZA / S series: Hold down the side button while plugging in the USB cable (Button 4 = 1000Hz, Button 5 = 500Hz, Buttons 4+5 = 125Hz) or press the dedicated Report Rate switch on the base until the LED turns Blue (1000Hz).
  • Vaxee: Press the dedicated "Rate" button on the bottom of the mouse until 1000Hz is lit.
