Mouse won't exceed 500mhz poll rate

Hi, I have a g500 mouse and and I'm determined to have 1000mhz. I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't important. The mouse itself is capable of it and I've run it at 1000mhz in Windows no problem. In Arch, no matter what I seem to try, it won't exceed 500mhz.

Problem is, despite booting with

usbhid.mousepoll=1

and/or running commands like

rmmod usbhid && modprobe usbhid mousepoll=1

or

modprobe usbhid mousepoll=1

...the evhs utility reports a 500mhz time, and I can definitely tell it's not at 1000 in game.

cat /sys/module/usbhid/parameters/mousepoll

Returns 1, so it seems that my system believes it's polling at 1000mhz.

Any ideas?
Thank you!

I appreciate the help, and I'll try recompiling the kernel if I have nothing easy to try. It seems like an extreme solution.
Thanks!
