No: each device reports to the PC on its own, so a 1000Hz AULA SC620 Contour does not slow an 8000Hz WIN68. The WIN68 reports key presses at 8000Hz, while the SC620 Contour and SC590 Pro report every millisecond. Evetech warrants the WIN68 for 2 years.
It is a fair worry. You buy a keyboard that talks to the PC eight thousand times a second, then plug in a mouse rated for one thousand, and wonder whether the slower device drags the faster one down. It does not, and understanding 1000Hz vs 8000Hz polling explains why mixing them on one desk is perfectly normal.
No. Every USB device reports to the PC on its own schedule, so a 1000Hz AULA SC620 Contour or SC590 Pro, R349 and R319 at Evetech, has no effect on an 8000Hz AULA WIN68. The WIN68, R449 for the HE or R699 for the MAX, keeps reporting at 8000Hz over its cable, while the mouse sends its position every millisecond. Each device only sets its own pace.
Polling rate is how often a device reports its state to the computer. At 1000Hz that is once every millisecond. At 8000Hz it is every 0.125ms, eight times as often.
The key point is that this happens per device. The keyboard and the mouse each have their own connection to the PC and their own report rate. The computer does not wait for the slowest device before reading the fastest one, and there is no shared clock that forces them into step. A 1000Hz mouse is simply read a thousand times a second while the keyboard next to it is read eight thousand times.
So the question to ask is not whether one device slows the other, but whether each device's rate is right for its own job.
On a keyboard, polling decides how soon a press or release reaches the PC after the switch registers it. Both WIN68 editions run 8000Hz over their USB-C cable, and they pair that with magnetic switches and Rapid Trigger, which resets a key as soon as you start lifting.
The WIN68 MAX adds another knob: its driver offers seven polling levels up to 8000Hz. That matters because very high report rates can add processor work. If a busy PC ever stutters, stepping the keyboard down a level or two is an easy test, and the WIN68 MAX makes that a driver setting instead of a guess.
For a great many players, yes. 1000Hz has long been the standard for gaming mice, and two AULA mice sit right there.
SC620 Contour. A 67g tri-mode mouse with a hollowed-out honeycomb shell and RGB showing through it. It polls at 1000Hz, set in the AULA driver, and has a dedicated Fire button you can map to one command.
SC590 Pro. A tri-mode mouse of about 64g with a small built-in display reporting its link, its precise charge and the DPI step in use. It also polls at 1000Hz.
If you later want a mouse that matches the keyboard's rate, the SC900 MAX can match the keyboard at 8000Hz, over its receiver or its cable, after a change in software. Out of the box it starts at 1000Hz.
A WIN68 with either 1000Hz mouse is a sound pairing. The keyboard gets its fast report rate for movement keys and Rapid Trigger, and the mouse gets a proven rate that is easy on the system. If you do move to an 8000Hz mouse later, keep an eye on CPU load with two high-rate devices running together, and use the WIN68 MAX's lower levels if needed.
To compare other combinations, Evetech's peripheral best sellers list shows what is popular right now, and a mat from the gaming mouse pads range gives any of these mice a consistent surface. The WIN68 carries a 2 Years Local Warranty at Evetech; the SC620 Contour and SC590 Pro carry 1 year.
No. Each has its own link and its own report rate, and the PC reads them one by one.
The gap is fractions of a millisecond. Some players notice it in fast games, others never do.
On the WIN68 MAX, yes, through seven levels in the driver.
The SC900 MAX, once raised in software on its receiver or cable.
They can. That is why a lower setting is worth trying if a system starts to stutter.
