  1. Short description. This driver/program is intended to "overclock" USB mice (or other devices) under Windows 98, 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11 including x64 versions. Also may be used for downclocking (and downclocking shall work always).

!!! Warning - overclocking may not work for Low Speed USB devices which controlled by non Microsoft USB stack, like OEM USB 3.x drivers at Windows 7 or with the newest Microsoft drivers.

!!! Warning 2 - you SHALL disable Secure Boot or modify the Registry accordingly to enable loading of Microsoft unsigned drivers to load HIDUSBF driver successfully under Windows 10 x64 version 1607 (Anniversary Update) or newer versions.

Program changes rate on selected devices only, not touching other devices on USB.

You can learn more about theory and the program here: http://www.overclockers.ru/lab/15925/Razgon_USB_myshi_ili_Software_nanosit_otvetnyj_udar.html (in Russian language(*))

I have personally tested it under Windows 98SE, 2000 SP2/SP4, XP RTM/SP1/SP2/SP3, XP x64 SP2, 2003 x86 SP2, Vista 32 bit RTM/SP2, Vista 64 bit RTM, 7 x86 SP1, 7 x64 SP1, 8 x64, 8.1 x64, 10 x64 1803, 1809, 1909, 20H2, 21H1, 21H2, 22H2. The first testing on x64 platform was performed by Dark_Cloud under Windows XP x64 SP1.

  1. Installation.
  2. Downclocking (all devices and drivers) or overclocking of Full Speed USB devices is possible always and there is no need to patch system code.

So, if you use program for this purpose - take drivers from directories DRIVER\NTX86\NOPATCH\ and DRIVER\AMD64\NOPATCH\ and replace drivers from directories DRIVER\NTX86\ and DRIVER\AMD64\

Because Windows 2000 doesn't have restrictions for overclocking Low Speed USB devices in driver code for OHCI and UHCI controllers you can use the driver from DRIVER\NTX86\NOPATCH. Windows 98 and ME also don't have such restrictions, so there is no patch version of driver for these OSes at all.

If you use your device with pure EHCI controller (without companion UHCI or OHCI controllers and with integrated USB2.0 Hub) or with any EHCI controller through USB2.0 Hub on Windows 2000 then just use ordinary version of driver (with patch). And there is special unofficial version of USBPORT.SYS for Windows 98 and ME without any restrictions of polling rate for such cases.

  1. For OSes begining from Windows XP for successful overclocking of Low Speed USB devices is REQUIRED the presence original (not altered by other programs) version of system driver USBPORT.SYS (%sytemroot%\system32\drivers\usbport.sys). Windows 8 beginning also works with USBXHCI.SYS (%sytemroot%\system32\drivers\usbxhci.sys). And under Windows 7 is supported Intel xHCI driver (IUSB3XHC.SYS) (see additions in HIDUSBFN.ZIP)

  2. Install my driver HIDUSBF.SYS. For this purpose execute SETUP.EXE (there should also be .INF and .SYS files UNZIPPED). Click [Install Service].

In case of HIDUSBF service wasn't installed through SETUP.EXE (button [Install Service]) you may try to do this by OS standard possibility: mouse right button click on HIDUSBF.INF -> Install It is enough to install the service once for each OS instance.

Then choose the row with your device and put a checkmark Filter On Device. Check that in the column Filter? it says Yes. After that choose desired refresh rate. After that push [Restart]. Check if the refresh rate has really changed (for example with the program Mouse Rate Checker).

If your rate did not change, then you should either reboot, plug-out and plug-in mouse cable or stop and then start your mouse in Device Manager.

If the rate does not increase more than 125Hz, then you should try DECREASE it to 31Hz or 62Hz. If the rate does decrease, then the driver functions properly, however or you mouse is not overclockable; or USBPORT.SYS/USBXHCI.SYS was altered or simply too new and so unknown to the program.

  1. Uninstall.

  2. Unlink driver from mouse through SETUP.EXE (Filter = Unchecked)

  3. For removing a service and file of driver: Setup.EXE -> mouse right button click on [Install Service] -> [UnInstall Service] or mouse right button click on HIDUSBFU.INF -> Install in Explorer

  4. If you have delete a driver but not unlink it from mouse then the mouse will stop working. To make mouse working you can just delete device, corresponding to mouse in Device Manager, then scan for new devices. Or use SETUP.EXE -> [All] or [with Problem] or [with HIDUSBF] Devices -> [Filter On Device] is Unchecked -> [Restart]

Good luck in overclocking mice :) SweetLow

ownage11 Bucake kr0w qsxcv Regulations Alya

And my special thanks to jeshuastarr - as signing process organizer.

  1. And drivers for overclocking up to 8000 Hz included now. Details on OCN: http://www.overclock.net/t/1589644/usb-mouse-hard-overclocking-2000-hz (and in README.2kHz-8kHz.ENG.TXT from jeshuastarr)

Added 2016/03/10:

  1. Improved Setup:
  • generalised code of USB HID device detection (and now it works with the Xbox 360 controllers)
  • interface was made more user-friendly and foolproof
  • added command line switch: /all (setup.exe /all) - allows you to set driver for any USB device (under your personal liability)

Added 2016/01/30:

  1. Fixed bug in code of patching driver of USB3.0 controller (USBXHCI.SYS) Bug can observed, for example, when USB audio device managed by USB3.0 controller stop working.

Added 2016/01/23:

  1. Now Setup can install driver for Composite USB device
  • use checkbox "Process Parent". Note, there is overclocked all functional devices from composite device, not the mouse only. For this feature functioning recompiled old drivers for Win 98&ME, 2000.
  1. I was surprised to learn that some people use driver to change rate of Full Speed USB mice. So, nonpatching version of x64 driver returned to package and such kind of using described in Installation section.

Added 2016/01/02:

  1. Driver now compatible with Windows 8, 8.1, 10. And both USB stacks supported: USB2.0 (USBPORT.SYS) and USB3.0 (USBXHCI.SYS)

  • installed filter can be undoned on nonstarting devices (unsigned driver at x64...) - with unchecked "Mice Only";
  • add parent device column.

Added 2009/02/11:

  1. Driver (patcher of USBPORT.SYS) works in Windows 7 x64 now.

Added 2009/02/03:

  1. To load driver under Vista x64 SP1 you can use "Test Mode" method. See DSEO program: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=dseo

Added 2008/04/22:

  1. Setup now aware of Windows x64. Don't forget - under Windows Vista 64 bit driver will load only with disabled driver signature enforcement.

Added 2008/04/19:

  1. Windows Vista 64 bit checked and work (with disabled driver signature enforcement).

Added 2007/05/16:

  1. Windows Vista 32 bit checked and work. In principle, version for XP x64 may work under Vista 64 bit, however AFAIK there is required digitally signed driver...
  2. Documentation rewritten.
  3. Patched USBPORT.SYS move into separate archive.

Added 2006/09/30:

  1. Drivers for 98/ME and 2000 shrink to fit in one page.
  2. DRIVER folder and HIDUSBF.INF reordered.

Added 2006/01/12:

  1. Below-mentioned development is executed for XP x64. Thank Dark_Cloud once again for recurrent testing.

Added 2005/12/26:

  1. Driver was enhanced - for its installation under XP is NOT required to install corrected USBPORT.SYS. However, if there is observed some anomalies - you may go back to old working sequence (corrected USBPORT.SYS + driver in the folder DRIVER\STD). Thank Alan 'Strider' Kivlin for the idea of patching the code of USBPORT.SYS on the fly. Thank Root for valuable link for implementation. The same development for Windows XP x64 is still not done - there is a difficulties with testing.

Added 2005/08/08:

  1. Translation was executed into English. Job was done by TimFortress (email: mofey@front.ru) 2005/07/22 (*) in text above is translator additions.

  2. In case of HIDUSBF service wasn't installed under Win x64 through Setup.EXE (button "Install Service") you may try to do this by OS standard possibility: mouse right button click on HIDUSBF.INF -> Install

  3. There was added possibility to uninstall HIDUSBF service and file: mouse right button click on HIDUSBFU.INF -> Install

Added 2005/05/31: Written documentation (in Russian).

Added 2005/04/10: Developed driver for Windows XP x64. Tested by Dark_Cloud.

Added 2005/01/19: Written GUI installer - SETUP.EXE
