Polling Rate of Mouse?
Is there any program or youtube video I can get that can show me how to find my polling rate?

Polling rate for either mouse or keyboard should be 1000Hz, unless you PC is very old and can't support that, in which case 500Hz.

This is however regularly the device will check for updates.

1000Hz would be 1000 times per second the processor queries your mouse. As you can see it's a lot, and between 1000Hz to 500Hz, you won't tell much difference. Ideally however, higher is more responsive. Avoid something like 100Hz, unless you have a potato PC still with USB version 1.0 ports. USB 2.0 and 3.0 / 3.1 can all support 1000Hz happily and it's default these days.

It didn't come with any drivers / app software for it? Just using Windows native drivers?

Also, what Operating System: Windows 10?

If it's Windows native mouse drivers, then no, not easily, without disabling driver signature enforcement and driver integrity, then modifying the hidusbf.sys file or similar. I wouldn't recommend it.

Under Control Panel > Mouse > Just ensure under the "Pointer Options", pointer speed is 6 (middle) and enchanced pointer percision is OFF. Don't use mouse acceleration and if the game has the option, pick raw mouse input. This will help for gaming purposes - Ignore the polling rate if 500Hz, it's still okay.

There are no drivers AZZA; it has a multi-mode DPI switch, no software needed; as u can see here:

Make sure your Mouse Sensitivity in the OS is on default (in the middle) and that "Precision" is off.
