For me, anything above 2k polling rate leads to stuttering in tf2 when moving the mouse.

Yes it does and it is horrible to play with. 2k polling rate is fine in my experience. Also don't get a razer deathadder v3 this mouse just randomly bugs out and lies about what polling rate its actually on because its evil or something.

8K polling rate is pretty much just a marketing term, its there in theory, but 99% of games will be unplayable and stutter like crazy, so dont buy a mouse just because it has 8k polling rate all over the ads
1-2k is completely fine, even 4k can make your game lag depending on what pc you have, i find 2k to be the sweetspot

I've had stutters with even 1K polling but one fix I had was closing enhance precision pointer setting in windows. Its basically built in mouse acc I didnt know existed. (Its on by default and messes with tf2's jank, I think???). Try this fix if the mouse still being unresponsive.

A few things I'd like to mention about Polling Rate:
1. Unnecessary CPU load
2. Source B.9537 (TF2’s engine build) is not able to handle anything above 2000Hz properly.
3. If you are not on 540Hz+ monitor - anything above 2000 Hz is a gimmick and placebo.
About Mice in general:
- 3200 DPI statistically has the lowest input times in various sensors.
- 1000 Hz Polling Rate for 120-210Hz Monitors -> 2000 Hz Polling Rate for 240+ Hz Monitors.
If you have a new-gen CPU (>12th gen Intel / 5th gen Ryzen) 2000Hz (mouse) might suit you the best, especially if you are on 240Hz (monitor).
If you specifically look for genuine advice about picking a mouse: SHAPE and WEIGHT are the most important factors to take into account - anything else is a micro-maxing gimmick that adds no real/practical value to your gaming skillset.

I get terrible stuttering above like 500 polling rate, no clue why. Using a logitech, so might have to do with their drivers, another 8k might be fine.
