Weight, ergonomics, and battery life
The weight: With its 61 grams, the Pulsefire Haste Wireless is one of the lighter representatives among shooter mice. It is even 2 grams lighter than the popular Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT, which weighs 63 grams.
Generally, I prefer heavier mice, but thanks to the excellent haptics and good weight distribution, I surprisingly like the mouse quite a lot.
Ergonomics: The shape of the mouse comfortably emphasizes the hand’s posture but does not have as pronounced a bottom as multi-genre mice like the Kone XP or a Rival 5. In palm grip, I still find the posture comfortable, while it fits snugly in fingertip grip. With around 19 cm, I have very large hands and can easily reach all the buttons. This applies to both the regular buttons and the two buttons in the thumb area.
Battery life: The manufacturer confidently states “up to 100 hours” for the battery life. In average, 4-5 days of battery life are possible, but I have not reached the 100 hours over several days so far.
This battery life is better than that of the SteelSeries Aerox 5 Wireless but still below that of the Logitech G502X Lightspeed. You can read an extensive review of the G502 X Lightspeed on MeinMMO:
The mouse buttons and mouse wheel
The mouse buttons: HyperX uses “TTC Golden Micr” switches under the main buttons. They remind me in click feel of the “Golden Micro IP54” switches that SteelSeries uses. And I already liked those.
The buttons feel nice and “clicky” without causing a loud noise. The sound is audible but only subtly perceivable. With dense headphones or when I am actively gaming, I no longer notice the clicks.
The mouse wheel: The mouse wheel feels surprisingly soft and does not offer as strong a notch as the mouse wheels of Razer (Basilisk series) or the G502X from Logitech. HyperX is again more oriented towards the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT.
Conclusion: Surprisingly good mouse with a major weakness
For whom is the mouse suitable? Those looking for a lightweight gaming mouse, especially for shooters, will find what they are looking for in the Pulsefire Haste Wireless. For a recommended retail price of 99.99 Euros or currently around 80 Euros in stores, you get a good mouse at a fair price. The price is thus slightly below that of the G PRO X SUPERLIGHT, for which you also have to pay around 100 Euros.
