Dark Matter (Zen) Understanding Polling Rates & VM Speed

Polling rate and VM speed adjust the responsiveness of your controller and reduce input lag. The Dark Matter script is optimized for all platforms (PC, PS5, Xbox) and performs well at all supported polling speeds.

  • Dark Matter Performance:
    • PC: 1ms
    • PS5: 2ms
    • Xbox: 4ms
    • The script adapts to different speeds for optimal performance.
  • Recommended VM Speeds by Platform:
    • Xbox (USB/Wireless):
      • 125 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -2 (8ms)
      • 250 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -6 (4ms) (Pro controllers)
    • PS5 (USB/Bluetooth):
      • 125 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -2
      • 250 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -6
      • 500-1000 Hz (DualSense Edge/Pro) ➝ VM Speed: -8
    • PC (USB):
      • 125 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -2
      • 250 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -6
      • 1000 Hz ➝ VM Speed: -9 (with overclocked driver)

  • Key Point: The Dark Matter script adapts to any controller’s polling rate. You don’t need to buy a new controller—just pick the polling rate you’re most comfortable with.
