Controller tracking and refresh rate

     I'm looking for an in-depth understanding of Quest 2 controller tracking and differences between 72hz and 90hz headset refresh rate.  Does the controller actually track any differently between these two settings?  My understanding is the controller tracks at 60 frames per second, so does that mean there is no difference in the quality of controller tracking between the 72 and 90hz settings?  I'm using a low pass filter on the controller speed and I can definitely feel that when my app is set to 90hz, I get higher speed readings on the controller vs 72hz.  Any insight here would be appreciated, thanks.

    I am so sad that in the past 2 years nobody ever answered your question...

    I have been digging into this for the past few days (weeks)... I'm using a Quest3 with Pro Controllers (because tracking of the regular quest3 was just horrible) -- but after playing with them for about 9 months now, i have gotten to a point where i am better and faster (in beatsaber) so that the controller have started having issues following my ridiculously fast movements... I started looking for a way to increase the polling rate... Since they are rechargeable, I don't really care if i end up loosing battery faster, the goal is to get much better responsiveness. I am already running it at 90hz and I could increase to 120hz if it were to make any difference...

    If anyone has any tips or suggestion it would be greatly appreciated!
