Our Verdict
Orbital Pathfinder
HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro
The HyperX Pulsefire Saga Pro and the Orbital Pathfinder are wireless gaming mice with modular designs. The HyperX offers more limited customization with only one set of alternate side buttons and a rear hump panel. The Orbital, by comparison, includes 25 modular pieces for far more extensive shape adjustment. It’s also significantly lighter and performs a bit better, making it the stronger option for fast-paced competitive play.
