The 30-second TL;DR

  • PC (Windows/Steam): you can set Polling Rate from 125Hz to 1000Hz. Start at 500Hz, then try 1000Hz.
  • Switch (Switch 1/2): USB polling is limited to 125Hz by the console. Changing the value won’t override that.
  • If anything feels unstable at higher rates, step down to 500Hz.
Why this matters:
Higher polling means more frequent input updates, which can feel “snappier” in rhythm games—especially in fast or dense sections.

What is Polling Rate?

Polling Rate is how often your drum sends input updates to your console or PC. It’s measured in Hz (times per second).

  • Higher Hz = more frequent updates
  • More frequent updates can mean more responsive input timing, especially in rhythm games

For Taiko players, this can show up as smoother hit detection, a lower “input delay” feeling, and better stability in fast / dense note sections.

Where you can use it

✅ PC Mode (Windows / Steam)

You can set Polling Rate from 125Hz up to 1000Hz. This is where most players feel the biggest difference.

When you’ll notice it most:
  • high-speed songs
  • dense note patterns
  • timing-sensitive play

✅ Switch Mode (Nintendo Switch 1 / 2)

Nintendo Switch limits USB polling to 125Hz at the system level. So even if you change the value in the app, the console will still run at 125Hz.

Nothing is broken.
This is a platform limitation on the Switch.
Quick takeaway:
On PC, Polling Rate is a real performance tuning tool. On Switch, it won’t change the console’s polling behavior.

Works great with Steam Rhythm Festival

If you play Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival on Steam, you can test Polling Rate and choose what feels best for your timing.

Important detail:
“Switch Mode” on a PC is still PC. The Switch’s 125Hz limitation only applies on the actual Nintendo Switch console.

Compatibility requirements

To use Polling Rate customization, please update:

  • TDC10: Firmware v2.33 or later
  • TDC17: Firmware v1.6 or later
  • TDC Mate: iOS v1.9 or later

You can update firmware directly through TDC Mate (iOS/Android).

Recommended settings (simple)

A safe starting point

  • PC: try 500Hz first
  • If everything feels stable, try 1000Hz
If something feels “weird”:
Higher polling can slightly increase USB power usage. If you notice unusual behavior, step down to 500Hz.
If you don’t feel much difference:
That’s normal for slower songs. Differences are often clearer in fast songs, dense sections, or very timing-sensitive play.

Quick FAQ

I changed the value, but Switch still feels the same.
That’s expected. Nintendo Switch limits USB polling to 125Hz system-wide. The setting won’t override that console limitation.
Is 1000Hz always “better”?
Not always. Many players like 1000Hz on PC, but if anything feels unstable (or you notice unusual behavior), step down to 500Hz. The best value is the one that feels stable and consistent for your setup.
Will this help with “latency”?
Polling Rate is one part of responsiveness. Display/audio latency can matter even more. If timing still feels off, check your TV/monitor Game Mode and avoid Bluetooth audio.

Questions or feedback?

Polling Rate is part of our ongoing effort to give players more control over timing and feel. If you’re unsure which value to use — or you discover an edge case — we’d love to hear from you.

Player-driven improvements:
Community feedback helps shape updates. If a suggestion is adopted, it can be delivered through future firmware updates. TDC10/TDC17 are not static products — they evolve with players.
