Our Verdict

ROCCAT Kain 100 AIMO

HyperX Pulsefire Haste

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste is an excellent ultra-light gaming mouse, while the ROCCAT Kain 100 AIMO is a very good gaming mouse. The HyperX has a honeycomb cutout design that makes it much lighter than the ROCCAT. Also, it has a more flexible cable, and its mouse feet glide much more smoothly. Performance-wise, it has a wider CPI range, a lower lift-off distance, and slightly lower latency. On the other hand, the ROCCAT has more programmable inputs thanks to its Easy-Shift[+] feature.
