InputProbe

What it does

Most online mouse testers measure your monitor: they count one movement per frame, so a 1000 Hz mouse reads 60 on a 60 Hz display. InputProbe reads the device events themselves. Every tool publishes its measured error band (from repeated runs on real hardware) and refuses to print a number when the capture can't support one. DPI, polling rate, button bounce, key rollover, eDPI. Free, no accounts, runs entirely in your browser.

Measure your mouse's real DPI against a physical reference, with the spread shown and the alignment error measured. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Any angle works. The mouse glides on your mousepad or desk beside the reference, not on top of it. A loose sheet slips along under the mouse and reads low. Park the mouse level with one end. Your cursor disappears while the test runs; Esc brings it back. Three passes tell you whether your hand was steady . They cannot tell you whether it was right : if you stop a couple of millimetres past each end every single time, all three passes agree with each other and all three are wrong together. That error is a fixed distance, so it is a bigger share of a short reference than a long one, which is what makes it measurable. Run the test again on a reference of a very different length and we can…from inputprobe.com

  Talanoa▲345

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
