FinalmousePollingRateSwitcher is a program made for Windows. It changes your Finalmouse ULX mouse's polling rate without you needing to do anything. The program detects when you switch between gaming and non-gaming usage. When you play games, it sets the polling rate to a high-performance mode. When you stop, it switches to an idle mode that saves battery life. This helps your mouse run longer without plugging it in.
The tool works quietly in the background. It watches which games you open and adjusts the polling rate based on that. It saves you time and gives your mouse better performance, depending on what you are doing.
Before you start, make sure your computer meets these requirements:
- Windows 10 or later (64-bit recommended)
- A Finalmouse ULX wireless mouse
- .NET 6.0 or higher installed (you can download it from Microsoft's official site if needed)
- At least 100 MB free space on your hard drive
- Administrative rights to install and run background services

When running, the program sits quietly in the background. It will now track which games you run.
The application does not need much user input. It works automatically, but you should know how it operates:
- When you open a supported game, the polling rate switches to a faster setting.
- When you exit the game, it lowers the polling rate to save battery.
- The program also shows a small icon in the taskbar (system tray). Click it to open the settings window.
The program has a list of games it recognizes. It switches polling rates only when these games run. You can add or remove games:
- Click the system tray icon.
- Select Settings.
- Find the Game Detection section.
- Add new games by typing the exact name of the game's executable file (e.g.,
csgo.exe). - Remove games you don’t want by selecting them and clicking Remove.
- Click Save to keep changes.
You can set which polling rate the mouse uses for gaming and idle modes:
- Open the settings window by clicking the system tray icon.
- Go to the Polling Rate tab.
- There are two options:
- Idle Mode Polling Rate: Set a lower value for battery saving, e.g., 125Hz.
- Gaming Mode Polling Rate: Set a higher value for performance, e.g., 1000Hz.
- Change the numbers to your preference.
- Click Apply to save changes.
To have the software start automatically when you turn on your PC:
- Open settings.
- Check the box named Start with Windows.
- Click Apply.
This lets the program start silently in the background every time you log in.
If the program does not change your mouse's polling rate as expected:
- Check that your Finalmouse ULX is connected.
- Make sure you run games listed in the detection settings.
- Restart the program or your PC.
- Ensure the app has administrator permissions. Right-click the program shortcut and select Run as administrator.
- Update your mouse drivers from the Finalmouse website.
- Confirm you have the latest version of FinalmousePollingRateSwitcher from the download page.
