Mouse polling rate

I have an old Logitech MX518 mouse that I still use to this day.

I'm struggling to find a way to change the mouse polling rate. On windows 10, it would handle 500Hz with ease.

Anyone know of a reliable method to increase mouse polling rate (that hopefully doesnt involve the bricking a USB port?)

Many thanks,

    Windows 10 generally reports the polling rate of your mouse based on the device's firmware and drivers. Many older mice like the MX518 have a fixed polling rate set by the firmware, but some can be adjusted.
