Do you guys reduce polling rate for non-gaming tasks?

I’ve been using a Razer wireless mouse and was wondering what people here actually do in practice.

Do you reduce your polling rate when you’re doing non-gaming tasks like browsing, coding, or office work?

I’ve seen some people suggest dropping from 1000 Hz to 125–500 Hz to save battery, especially on wireless mice, but I’m not sure how meaningful the savings actually are in real-world usage. Others say it’s basically negligible and not worth changing constantly.
