Public build log / 001
A dated record of changes that affect how our tools work, what they measure, and how clearly we explain the results.
Measurement changes, browser compatibility work, new tools, meaningful accessibility improvements, and substantial guides.
Routine code cleanup, advertising changes, minor styling adjustments, and metadata-only edits with no effect on the tool experience.
Added this changelog and linked it from the site’s trust and navigation surfaces. Entries focus on changes visitors can see or that affect how a test behaves.
Why it matters: Maintenance claims now have a dated, reviewable record.
Released a German-language version of the keyboard polling rate test and connected it to the site’s language navigation.
Measurement impact: None. The same browser event timing method is used across languages.
Open the German keyboard test →Added clearly labeled 1, 2, 5, 10, 30, 60, and 100 second modes, direct links for each duration, and pressed-state labels for assistive technology. The page now explains mouse and touchscreen use more clearly.
Measurement impact: The CPS calculation did not change.
Try the Click Speed Test →Published a specification-based guide covering current high-polling-rate mice, connection modes, receiver requirements, weight, and practical system requirements. Manufacturer specifications are separated from browser test results.
Why it matters: Visitors can check setup requirements before interpreting an unexpectedly low result.
Read the 8K mouse guide →Updated the keyboard test chart to reuse measured dimensions and group rapid resize events into a single animation frame. This avoids unnecessary canvas resets while the browser window changes size.
Measurement impact: Event timing and reported polling rate were not changed.
Open the Keyboard Polling Rate Test →Added a practical guide to changing polling rate through major mouse software, checking Windows and USB settings, and troubleshooting results that do not match the selected rate.
Why it matters: Users can move from detecting a problem to checking the most likely settings.
Read the setup guide →Record starts July 2026. Earlier work has not been reconstructed because dates and visitor impact could not be documented to the same standard. Questions or bug reports can be sent to contact@mousepollingratetest.com.
