Report Rate Setting:

The KORONA II features an adjustable reporting rate 250, 500 or 1000 reports per second (rps) to better tailor the mouse to your system. Theoretically speaking, the highest 1000 rps settings should be the best setting for gaming, however due to the difference between system polling rates and refresh rates, and availability of system resources, a lower setting of 500 or sometimes even 250 rps may provide improved motion smoothness with some games. Try the different settings by moving the Report Rate Switch on the bottom of the KORONA II, and see which works best for you.
