Prometheus 82 v5.0.9.2, tests #4833 (button) and #4830 (stick), tester John Punch, Windows 11 build 10.0.26100, cable and XInput, firmware 6.40. Button latency is independent of polling and sticks are tested at 99 percent deflection. Median polling 987.92 Hz from a separate software test. The same page lists runs at about 499 Hz (button 3.5 ms, stick 18.0 ms) and about 250 Hz (button 4.48 ms, stick 31.76 ms). They are not stored. The stick result is much higher than the G7 SE stick result, which was measured with a different firmware.
