Windows 11 users with the current version of the program you will need to make sure your “Memory Integrity” setting is set to “Off” in the security settings. To access, search “Core isolation” which is under the Windows Security section and the first option is “Memory Integrity”.

Extract the Folder into a permanent location. For the example I will use the desktop, but I would recommend a space within a drive on the PC that is not regularly deleted like the “Downloads” folder.

In the folder you will find a few README files for reference on how to install on older versions of windows, patch notes of updates, and how to downclock devices (not applicable to our goal of overclocking a controller).

Navigate to the “DRIVER” folder.

In the “DRIVER” Folder you will find the program (Setup.exe) along with Drivers, and the uninstall program. You should only need to interact with one file “Setup” (setup.exe)

Open Setup.exe (you may need to right-click and run as Administrator in some cases). You might get a windows prompt about an unknown publisher which is normal. Once opened, you should see this screen.

You will want to make sure your controller is connected to the PC and then navigate to the “Devices” dropdown menu and select “All”.

Look for your controller on the list. Under “Child Name(s)" it can be a little tricky. A few words in you should see “Wireless Controller.”

Click on the device you want to overclock and it should highlight in a new color.

Then go down to the “Selected Rate” drop down that says “default” and change it to 1000 and click the “Install Service” button.

From here you should see either a progress bar or a screen flash letting you know the driver is being flashed. Once complete, you will see your new polling Rate under the “Rate” Column.

This step is critical for the first install of the driver. If there are any errors, they would have popped up here. Find some answers to common install errors on the github wiki by clicking the button below.

The easiest fix we have seen with some Windows 11 errors is to right-click the “HIDUSBF_AS” file and then “Install” to manually load it for the first time. You can also do the same with the “1kHz” windows command by right-click “run as administrator”. Those two processes resolved any issues we had and allowed us to move around as normal.

Go back to the “DRIVER” folder that is unzipped and saved in a secure location.

Right-click “Setup” and then click “Copy as path.”

Go to your desktop, right-click, and select “New” then “Shortcut.”

Paste (ctrl+v or right-click paste) the file path.

Click “Next” and give it a name then click “Next” to save.

Open the program (Setup.exe) either from the Driver Folder or desktop shortcut.

Click the “Devices” drop-down and select “All”.

Find your controller and left mouse click.

Click the Check box next to “Filter On Device”.

Select your new polling rate on the “Selected Rate” drop-down
(1000 hz for PS4, and 1000-8000 for Dualsense).

Then Click “Install Service”.

Now, Click “Restart” which will disconnect and reconnect the controller.

Sometimes system errors might require to un-plug/plug-back-in the controller.

If it worked properly under the “Filter” column it should say “Yes” and the “Rate” should be your new rate. You should be able to unplug and plug back in the controller and the filter/rate column continue to show the flashed rates.

You can also click the “Devices” drop-down and select “with HIDUSBF”.

Your controller should show on that list.

• GPDL Device measures actual Latency vs theoretical based on polling rates.
• GPDL Fires a button press 2000 times and records the time it takes for the PC to register then averages those results.
