Our Verdict
HyperX Pulsefire Haste
BenQ ZOWIE EC1-C
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste is an excellent wired gaming mouse, while the BenQ ZOWIE EC1-C is a great wired gaming mouse. The HyperX is significantly lighter and has better quality mouse feet. It also has a much wider CPI range, and you can set the CPI precisely by increments of 100, while you can only choose between four default CPI presets on the BenQ. The HyperX also has RGB lighting and customization software, two features the BenQ lacks entirely. Both mice are suitable for all grip types, but the HyperX is more accommodating to a wider range of hand sizes overall.
