Hidusbf is a low-level Windows driver and utility designed to modify the polling rate of USB input devices such as mice and controllers, effectively enabling higher responsiveness through overclocking or reducing latency through downclocking. It works by installing a filter driver that intercepts USB communication and adjusts the rate at which the device reports input data to the system. This can result in significantly higher polling rates, such as increasing from the default 125 Hz to much higher frequencies, depending on hardware compatibility. The tool is intended for advanced users who want fine-grained control over input performance, particularly in gaming or precision-critical environments. It supports a wide range of Windows versions, from legacy systems to modern releases, although certain configurations may require disabling security features like memory integrity.
