Questions on mouse polling rate & surface tuning

hi tf.tv, I was wondering if there are any benefits of setting your mouse polling rate to 500 rather than 1000? I heard that 500 hz = higher perfect control / less responsive and that 1000hz = lower perfect control / more responsive. I realize that tf2 isn't a game that requires as much control or precision as a game like cs:go, but I'm asking out of curiosity sake bc I play more of cs:go than tf2 now.

I was also wondering if using the surface tuning programs in mice program (i.e. logitech, razer) has any advantages / disadvantages and whether or not you should even touch that option?

thanks :)

I use 500hz because it feels more consistent and stable. depends on your mouse/driver also.
500hz is not going to give you higher perfect control.

surface tuning is mostly a gimmick.
it can change the lod I guess.
I wouldn't use it, in some cases it induces tracking problems and lag.
