Corsair has launched a trio of gaming peripherals powered by its Axon hyper-processing technology with 8,000Hz polling for lighting fast inputs. It refers to these devices as joining its Champion series of competition-grade peripherals, and they are; the Corsair Sabre RGB Pro and Sabre Pro gaming mice, and the Corsair K70 RGB TKL gaming keyboard.
The mice
Corsair s Sabre RGB Pro and Sabre Pro are headlined as the first rodents in the firm s lineup to feature 8,000Hz mice. This is due to the presence of Corsair Axon hyper-processing technology. A fast polling rate like this is said to be of appeal in competitive gaming as your clicks and movements are delivered to the PC up to 8x faster than standard PC gaming peripherals. I guess Corsair is talking about those 1,000Hz (1ms) polling peripherals as some budget/older devices poll at much lower rates.
