Notice: This mice was replaced by HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is a mid-range lightweight gaming mouse and a wireless version of the popular HyperX Pulsefire Haste. It has a plastic body with honeycomb-shaped cutouts to reduce the overall weight, a dedicated CPI button behind the scroll wheel, and two side buttons on the left. It also shares the same symmetrical shape and sensor as the original wired version.

Our Verdict

0.0
Work 

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is very good for office and multimedia work. It feels very well-built and has a comfortable symmetrical shape that's suitable for all hand sizes. You can connect this mouse with a USB receiver and program all of the buttons using the customization software. Unfortunately, there's no Bluetooth support, and the scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Good portability.
  • Storage compartment for the USB receiver.
  • Connects wirelessly via USB receiver.
  • All buttons are programmable using the customization software.
Cons
  • No Bluetooth support.
  • Scroll wheel lacks L/R tilt buttons and a free-scrolling mode.

Video Games (FPS) 

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is a great FPS gaming mouse. It feels very well-built and has a symmetrical shape that's suitable for nearly all hand sizes using any grip type. It's also extremely lightweight and its feet glide very smoothly on mousepads and desks. Performance-wise, it has a broad CPI range and you can precisely set your preferred CPI by increments of 50. The click latency is also good, but it's higher than most mid-range FPS gaming mice, and you should look to other options if you're interested in fast-paced or competitive games.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Extremely lightweight.
  • Comfortable symmetrical shape suitable for all hand sizes using nearly all grip types.
  • Good portability.
  • Storage compartment for the USB receiver.
Cons
  • Click latency is good for casual gaming, but too high for competitive play or fast-paced games.
  • CPI isn't as precisely adjustable as on many similar gaming mice.

Video Games (MMO) 

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is a decent mouse for MMO gaming, but it doesn't have nearly as many side buttons as a mouse designed specifically for MMO gaming. That said, you can customize all the buttons using the customization software. it also feels very well-built and its symmetrical shape is suitable for nearly all hand sizes and grip types. Performance-wise you can precisely set the CPI in a very broad range. The click latency is also good, although it's somewhat higher than most gaming mice in this price range.

Pros
  • Feels very well-built.
  • Comfortable symmetrical shape suitable for all hand sizes using nearly all grip types.
  • Good portability.
  • Storage compartment for the USB receiver.
Cons
  • Click latency is good for casual gaming, but too high for competitive play or fast-paced games.
  • Not nearly as many side buttons as a dedicated MMO gaming mouse.

    Popular Mouse Comparisons

    The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is an ultra-lightweight gaming mouse and a wireless version of the popular HyperX Pulsefire Haste. It's also HyperX's first attempt at a wireless gaming mouse. While the original version is an entry-level model for those looking for an affordable ultra-lightweight option, this wireless version lands more squarely at a mid-range price point. Although, it retains the lower-end PixArt PAW3335 sensor as the previous version. There aren't many wireless gaming mice that compete with its weight around this price. However, it lacks the click latency performance of similar lightweight options like the GLORIOUS Model O Wireless.

    Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT

    Track

    The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT and the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless are both ultralight wireless gaming mice, but the Logitech performs better overall. The Logitech has mouse feet that glide more smoothly, a wider CPI range in which you can more precisely set your CPI, and significantly lower click latency. Its companion software is also compatible with Windows and macOS, while the HyperX software is only compatible with Windows.

    HyperX Pulsefire Haste

    Track

    The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless is a wireless version of the HyperX Pulsefire Haste. The two mice are almost visually identical and share the same sensor. They're also the same weight. The standout difference between the two is that the newer Pulsefire Haste Wireless connects with a USB receiver. However, the original Pulsefire Haste has lower click latency.

    Razer Viper Ultimate

    Track

    The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless and the Razer Viper Ultimate are both symmetrically-shaped wireless gaming mice, but the Razer performs better in most respects. The Razer has a wider CPI range in which you can more precisely set your CPI and significantly lower click latency. It also has a pair of side buttons on either side, making it a true ambidextrous design, while the HyperX only has side buttons on the left. On the other hand, the HyperX is 15g lighter and feels somewhat sturdier.

    Razer Viper Mini

    Track

    The HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless and the Razer Viper Mini are both FPs gaming mice with symmetrical shapes. The HyperX connects wirelessly and has a wider CPI range and lower lift-off distance. On the other hand, the Razer is a wired-only model with much lower click latency.
