  That requires a mouse with an 8kHz polling rate. With a 1kHz polling rate, this trick will be limited to sounds under 500Hz.

    Cool, cool. So what hertz range would you say a woman moaning or a particularly loud fart fall around ? Just out of curiosity…

      Human speech is between about 130-300Hz, so even with a lower poling rate it can pick it up. And assuming she sound like a mosquito, it’ll pick things up.

    Huh you know from a music perspective I know we can get a lot higher than 500hz but most speech is apparently around 1-300hz.

    And probably only works when configured to use the the highest DPI settings.
