Raw pointer is stable but browser estimate is lowerBrowser event delivery may not equal hardware report rate.Check Razer/Synapse configured polling and official test guidance.
Rate/continuity improves with direct dongleHub/receiver path was limiting stability.Keep HyperPolling dongle direct and well positioned.
Movement itself skips across hostsThis is more than a numeric polling expectation.Test surface, receiver and hardware support path.
Sequence
Work from reversible checks to escalation
- 01
Connect HyperPolling dongle directly.
- 02
Run pointer/polling stability test.
- 03
Check Synapse configured mode.
- 04
Compare another host before concluding hardware failure.

When to stop changing settings
Use Razer support if raw tracking remains unstable across direct known-good hosts and surfaces.
