> Just wave your mouse around and watch the cursor

I just realized that I literally never do this. It is indeed incredibly jarring. even at 60Hz. I think my eyes basically immediately "jump" to where I want to move the cursor, so I don't really "track" it. Do other people track the cursor with their eyes?

My eyes naturally snap to moving objects and track them. And even if I only look at the spot where I want the cursor to be, I can still see it moving and leaving frames behind in my periphery. And that's at 144hz. I'm thinking of getting a 240hz or 390hz soon though.
