The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro is a wireless gaming mouse with a modular design that allows you to swap out the click button, palm rest, and side buttons. There is a pair of each modular piece included in the box, each of which slightly changes the shape and overall experience of the mouse, though it remains a right-handed ergo mouse in all included configurations. HyperX also advertises that you can print your own pieces if you have access to a 3D printer, and they host a small a repository of 3D-printable designs.
Our Verdict
The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro isn't designed specifically for work use. While it's perfectly adequate for typical desktop or laptop tasks and offers a comfortable modular shape and Bluetooth connectivity, it lacks productivity features like scroll wheel tilt inputs or a free-scrolling mode.
Excellent build quality.
Modular design with the option to 3D-print your own panels.
Scroll wheel lacks left-right tilt inputs and free scrolling.
Performance-wise, the HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro is an outstanding FPS gaming mouse. It also has a comfortable right-handed shape best suited for small or medium-sized hands, and its standout feature is its modular customization potential. Its major weakness is that it's much heavier than most dedicated FPS mice on the market, which can affect the speed and accuracy of your cursor movement in-game.

Differences Between Sizes And Variants
The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro is only available in Black. You can see our unit's label here.
There's a separate wired version of this mouse called the HyperX Saga Pro. We consider it a different product rather than a variant, and the results in this review aren't representative of it.
Popular Mouse Comparisons
The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro is a wireless gaming mouse with a modular design that lets you swap the palm rest, main buttons, and side button pieces to adapt the shape to your liking. It uses optical switches rather than the mechanical switches found on previous HyperX models, and these typically last longer since mechanical switches can develop double-click issues over time. Its overall performance is remarkably good and approaches most current-generation flagships, so it's more than suitable for competitive play.
The main drawback is the weight. It will feel excessive for most competitive FPS players unless you naturally prefer heavier mice. Within the market, it sits in the middle ground. It's much heavier than leading FPS options like the Razer Viper V3 Pro or the Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2, although it's still noticeably lighter than bulkier multi-role designs like the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro or the Logitech G502 X PLUS.
Altogether, the Pulsefire Saga Pro is a compelling choice if you want modular flexibility, particularly if you plan on 3D printing your own parts. However, the included customization options are modest compared to more extensive modular systems, like the Orbital Pathfinder, so the appeal depends heavily on whether you plan to extend the system yourself.

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless is a lightweight wireless gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape, while the HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro is a heavier, right-handed, ergonomic model with a modular main button, palm rest, and side buttons that you can exchange to tweak how the mouse feels in your hand. The Saga Pro also has significantly better click latency and sensor latency performance, making it comparatively more suitable for playing fast-paced, competitive games. Lastly, the Saga Pro uses optical switches, which are typically longer-lived than the mechanical switches found in the Haste 2 Wireless.
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 is a wired gaming mouse with a symmetrical shape, while the HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro is a wireless model with a right-handed ergonomic shape and modular main button, palm rest, and side button panels you can swap to change how it feels in-hand. The Saga Pro is heavier, but it performs better overall and uses optical switches, which typically have much better lifespans compared to mechanical switches like those used by the Haste 2.
The Logitech G PRO X SUPERLIGHT 2 and the HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro are both wireless gaming mice, but the Logitech has a symmetrical shape that's very accommodating to a wide range of hand sizes and grip types. It's also significantly lighter and performs better, generally making it a more preferred option for competitive FPS play. On the other hand, the HyperX is much heavier and doesn't perform quite as well, but is noteworthy for its modular design, which allows you to swap out the front button, palm rest, and side button pieces to adjust how the mouse feels in your hand.
The Logitech G502 X PLUS and the HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro are wireless gaming mice. The Logitech is much heavier but has a more generous ergonomic design with a thumb rest. It also has more programmable buttons and a scroll wheel with tilt inputs and free-scrolling, making it a much more versatile all-around pick. Comparatively, the HyperX is a much smaller mouse that's noticeably lighter. It has a right-handed ergo shape, and its noteworthy feature is that it has modular pieces, including a front button, a palm rest, and side buttons, which you can swap out to change how the mouse feels.
Test Results
There's one customizable RGB lighting zone in the scroll wheel.
This is a modular mouse, so its shape depends on which panels you have installed. For our measurements and 3D scan, we've used the flatter click button panel and the taller palm rest panel configuration. There's also a more concave button panel and a shorter palm panel included in the box.
HyperX also advertises support for printing your own pieces. For more details, see their 3D printing product page or their official Printables.com repository.
Unfortunately, site limitations prevent us from adding additional scans for other configurations, but you can find more details about the alternate setups in the Hand Size Recommendations section.
If you're interested in a mouse that has a much more extensive modular system and includes 25 pieces to adjust how its shape fits your hand, check out the Orbital Pathfinder.
This mouse has excellent build quality. The plastic body and modular pieces have a pleasant, slightly delicate, and finely textured finish that feels fairly durable. The modular panels attach magnetically, feel sturdy, and fit securely with no looseness when installed. There's also no noticeable flexing except for a small amount on the underside panel, which is typical for gaming mice and unrelated to the modular system, so it doesn't affect normal use. Unfortunately, there's a faint rattling sound if you shake the mouse forcefully.
With the modular palm rest piece removed, you can access a compartment for storing the receiver when it's not in use.
The configuration we've evaluated uses the flatter click button panel and the taller palm rest panel installed on the mouse.
The configuration we've evaluated uses the flatter click button panel and the taller palm rest panel installed on the mouse.
We've also taken supplementary photos for a palm, claw, and fingertip grip with the more concave click button panel and the shorter palm rest panels installed. These pieces create subtle changes in how the mouse feels rather than transforming its size and shape, and they don't meaningfully affect our hand size recommendations.
HyperX advertises that you can 3D print your own modular pieces to dramatically change the shape and feel of this mouse. You can see examples on HyperX's official Printables.com repository.
HyperX advertises a wireless battery life of up to 90 hours using a 1000Hz polling rate and up to 30 hours using a 4000Hz polling rate with all lighting disabled, using a 2.4GHz connection.
This mouse includes a braided paracord-like cable. It's reasonably flexible, glides fairly well on desks and mousepads, and doesn't retain significant kinks from its packaging.
This mouse comes with a mix of more traditional large PTFE feet and several PTFE dots. It's a bit unusual to see these two styles combined, but the feet glide very smoothly on mousepads and on desks with minimal scratchiness. However, the larger skates have slightly sharper edges, which can create a bit more friction on softer pads.
- USB-C to USB-A cable
- USB-A Wireless receiver
- Receiver adapter
- Adhesive grip tape
- Extra set of mouse feet
- 1x alternate button cover panel (one is preinstalled on the mouse for a total of two in the box)
- 1x alternate rear panel (one is on the mouse for a total of two in the box)
- One pair of side buttons (one pair is already on the mouse for a total of two pairs in the box)
Note that in addition to the modular main button and palm rest panels, the side buttons are also modular, held in with magnets. The pair shown above is one of two included shapes, and the box also includes an alternate pair with a slightly different contour.
You can program all inputs except for scroll up/down, and the left and right click buttons can only be swapped.
The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro provides remarkably low and consistent click latency, which makes it well-suited for competitive play.
We conducted this test at the maximum polling rate of 4000Hz.
Note: When we first tested this mouse in June 2025, the click latency was significantly higher. The improved results above were produced using the most recent firmware version released in November 2025 (v1.1.2.9).
The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro doesn't exhibit any problematic sensor tracking or speed variation issues.
This mouse has remarkably good sensor latency, making it well-suited for casual or competitive play in all genres.
We conducted this test at the maximum polling rate of 4000Hz.
The scroll wheel has a notched rubber surface, and scrolling is quiet and feels precise. The force it takes to move between steps is on the lighter side.
The software is fairly simple by the standards of software from major brands. You can only download the software from the Microsoft Store, which is unusual. That said, you can customize various expected options, although you can't change sleep settings. We encountered some initial issues with saving custom settings to the onboard memory, but resetting the mouse resolved this issue.
Note that while the software does support auto-switching profiles for specific software, you can't program a manual profile switch button.
