A gaming mouse from HyperX really surprised me in the test – an insider tip for less than 100 euros

HyperX has introduced a lightweight wireless mouse with the Pulsefire Haste Wireless. MeinMMO editor Benedikt Schlotmann tested the mouse and explained why it is an insider tip for him.

Gaming mice have had a tendency to get lighter and slimmer over the past few years. The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is no exception. At 61 grams, it is one of the particularly light representatives of its class.

But how does the gaming mouse fare in the test and in comparison to other mice? I was able to test the mouse extensively for you and tell you why the mouse has become a real insider tip for me.

Scope of delivery, design and construction

What does the scope of delivery look like? The Pulsefire Haste Wireless comes with a USB-C receiver, an adapter for the receiver and a USB-C cable. As a bonus, the box also comes with additional interchangeable mouse feet and a set of griptape. You can use this to glue the mouse yourself.

Scope of delivery of the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless

How is the mouse constructed? The model comes with either a black or white design:

  • On the top of the mouse are the main buttons and the illuminated mouse wheel in between. There is a small switch on the top that you can use to adjust the DPI.
  • On the left side there are two more buttons in the thumb area. There are no other buttons or a sniper button.
  • The model relies on a rough surface. There are no rubberized side surfaces, but you can mount the included griptape.

    • HyperX relies on a simple and restrained design for its gaming mouse. Only the mouse wheel has a decent illumination.

    The general structure of the mouse uses a honeycomb design. This reduces the weight of the rodent, but has the disadvantage that the mouse can get dirty quite easily.

    processing

    The Pulsefire Haste Wireless feels very valuable. This is due in particular to the successful haptics of the mouse. Despite its light weight, it feels sturdy and doesn’t make me feel like it’s made out of cheap plastic at first touch.

    Another advantage is that the USB-C charging socket is mounted in such a way that I can use any standard cable to charge the mouse. I really like that. Another advantage is that you can transport the receiver in the bottom of the mouse. And here the thing sits bombproof.

    software

    The software is clear and all functions are hidden behind clearly named fields – if you can get into the software at all.

    At first I had trouble connecting the mouse to the software. The software prompted me to update the mouse right at the start. But the update took forever and nothing happened. Then I read the tip on reddit to download the independent updater for the mouse.

    HyperX’s “NGenuity” software caused major problems at the beginning.

    So I first updated the mouse using one program and then installed the actual update using the actual “Ngenuity” software. You can have the same fun with the wireless adapter. And without updating your mouse and adapter, you can’t use the software.

    If the software works, then it’s good. The way there is currently still cumbersome and rocky. There is an urgent need for improvement, as the software is currently the biggest weakness of the otherwise good mouse.

    Once the software works, it is clear.

    On the next page you will find my assessment of the weight, ergonomics and battery life of the wireless gaming mouse. In the final conclusion, I also explain to you for whom the mouse is worthwhile and what could (still) speak against a purchase.
