That utility isn't perfect. Disable the realtime rate display, just pay attention to the average.

u cant use this at any tourneys. so its pointless.

I am back at 125hz, no sense wasting 10% cpu on mouse input when I don't feel the smoothness in anything other than q3 and cs.
.yea playing on a razer mouse without the drivers is pointless so you'll have to take them wherever you go. feels horrible without them installed. however, a lot of people even on razerblueprints.net reported that the copperhead wasn't doing a stable 1000hz polling. have you updated to the latest firmware? i dont think its a problem with the mouseratechecker software. my diamondback plasma was doing a stable 750hz without fluctuations like that.
that software worked fine for every mouse i tried it with. i haven't tried a copperhead though. visit http://www.razerblueprints.net and check the forums. there should be some useful info and solutions if at all it is a problem.

You can use 1000hz with the mx518, or any usb gaming mouse for that matter.
It's only the windows o/s that uses 125hz as default as anything above increases cpu usage slightly. Even a copperhead can't do 125hz unless you install the drivers.
Get the usb mouserate switcher here.
Boot in safe mode - run the file - press Y/N for whatever rate you want (250, 500, 1000 or revert to default).

no you can't use with any usb mouse. most of them will stop responding beyond 500hz. some people have even reported permanent damage when using older mice like IE 3.0 at 500hz or higher. the last time i checked the MX510 could be pushed upto a stable 450hz. my diamondback plasma can go up to 750hz where its stable. at 1000hz it just stops responding but a few other people have reported positive results. i think i even read an article where Razer themselves talk about how the diamondback plasma can do a stable 1000hz but most people haven't gotten it to work. the mx518 uses the exact same sensor as the diamondback plasma (ADNS-3080 from Agilent) so i wouldn't bet on it doing any better.
@goldenfrag, the G5 has a polling rate of 500hz out of the box without the need to patch windows. (drivers are still required i think)
personally, i don't feel the need to go above 500hz as i didn't find much of an improvement with higher numbers. 125 -> 500 was a nice big leap though.

Yea meant 500hz only, don't notice any difference above that anyway.
I try not to mention 1000hz and damage in the same line anymore, even though so many problems have been reported.
