Mac OS mouse polling rate tester

[u/Better-Monk6202]

Hey everyone!

I built a native macOS app called PollingRateTester to measure mouse polling rates and investigate how different macOS input APIs handle mouse events.

I originally started this project because browser-based polling rate testers were showing inconsistent results on my Mac, so I wanted to experiment with different input measurement methods.

A quick note: observed event rates aren’t necessarily identical to a mouse’s verified hardware polling rate, and IPS accuracy depends on the available movement data and CPI calibration.

Thanks. Seems usable. AppKit just pisses me off, because why is it tied to the screen refresh rate??
