Seeing and Changin polling rate of an integrated laptop keyboard?

Hi everybody, so I play fighting games and while waiting for a new keyboard to arrive I am on an integrated one.
So I decided(at least tried) to change its polling rate. (Possible nonsense incoming)
Used:
lsusb, output is "kbpoll=0", but I don't think it detects integrated kb, because in
/etc/modprobe.d/usbhid.conf I set "options usbhid kbpoll=1" and rebooted, nothing changed in the output tho.
Then I decided to ask for help on our subreddit, found out people there take pride in not helping so now I'm here.
I used lspci, yielded no result too
But after using "sudo dmesg" here's an output I got:
[0.620215] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3
[0.714957] usb 3-3: new full-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

So I believe this is the keyboard I am looking for (assuming there isn't an evil spirit around messing with me) But what do I do with it? How do I change the polling rate?

I must say I am fairly new to the exciting realm of linux, so please excuse me for not being able to troubleshoot a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist. I could wait for the new keyboard to get delivered to me, but now it's a battle of resilience and hunger for knowledge, and I will not let some plastic keys overtake me.

(Also on the side note, while I was writing this message I started wandering if it's even possible to change the polling rate and would it be detrimental to hardware performance. I assume there's no reason to allow any changes to this keyboard on a laptop, so manufacturer could've used very specific dbus, I/O (I have no idea what I'm talking about) for it? If it helps, I have Asus TUF Gaming F15 506H)
All love.
