This DKMS module allows you to overclock some USB devices by overriding their endpoints' bInterval values in the device descriptors – if the device physically allows you to poll it at higher frequency and will give you more data.
Back on Windows this (with the same method) was rather trivial using the "hidusbf" program. And ever since moving to Linux I was pretty annoyed I didn't have a similarly simple enough way of doing the same thing. So basically I guess I had no choice but to make one.
And the module allows doing that for theoretically any USB device without patching and re-compiling the kernel. Installation instructions are in the README (there's .deb, .rpm and AUR packages):

So let me know what you think, and if you managed to overclock any gamepads or other devices, or want to try.
Likely transmitter range issue, I really doubt it'd help for that
Damn, my search for an answer continues....
It won't help much, but a 1 meter USB extension will get the receiver that much closer to you. And maybe keep it from getting tucked behind something that blocks the radio.
It's certainly not blocked lol. I did get an extender to put the mouse dongle on top of something so it's in open, unimpeded line of sight and unobstructed in any way. Helped a little, but can't play multiplayer games as it still just cuts out every 10 mins for 5 secs
