It has excellent build quality and a comfortable symmetrical shape suitable for most hand sizes. You can connect this mouse with a USB receiver or via Bluetooth, and although it doesn't have many buttons, you can program all of them using the customization software. Unfortunately, the scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode.

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless is excellent for FPS gaming. It's very lightweight, has excellent build quality, and has a comfortable symmetrical shape suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes. It also delivers outstanding sensor performance and good click latency. However, the click latency isn't as low as many similar wireless gaming mice around this price point. While it's still very well-suited for casual FPS gaming, it isn't well-suited for playing at the highest competitive levels.

Popular Mouse Comparisons
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless is a lightweight wired gaming mouse that continues the HyperX Pulsefire Haste lineup. This new version weighs the same as the last generation HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless but no longer has any visible honeycomb cutouts in its body. It also has a more accurate and consistent sensor and more durable left- and right-click buttons. This mouse is a more affordable alternative that's just as lightweight as some of the most popular wireless gaming flagships, including the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT or the Razer Viper V2 Pro. Although, it doesn't quite deliver the same high-end click latency performance as these more premium options, so it isn't as well-suited to fast-paced competitive gaming.
