> I use a wired mouse with a 1000hz polling rate on an M1 Macbook Pro with vsync disabled system wide; it only actually disables vsync if you use an external monitor and close the lid of the MacBook

Are you using a >120Hz Monitor or don't you care about the occasional tearing?

I, unfortunately, still use a cheap 60hz acer monitor from my workplace.

I don't mind the occasional tearing — I usually only notice it when using autoscroll in Firefox at a lower speed/velocity.

As a remote SWE, I sit in front of my computer all day every day, so I find that the benefit in speed I get from removing at least one frame of input lag outweighs the occasional tearing which occurs as a result. I'm not exactly sure why, but I haven't noticed any tearing when playing video content.

I also spend a lot of time in XQuartz, which has some longstanding rendering bugs unless you disable vsync.
