The mouse connects to your computer with a 2.4GHz USB receiver, which is small enough to not be intrusive either on your desktop tower or your laptop. You can also use the included USB-C to USB cable for a wired connection when you need it or to use your mouse while it's charging. It also comes with a round USB to USB-C adapter that can be used with the wireless receiver if your computer only has USB-C ports or only a few USB Type-A inputs that are needed for other peripherals, or you can use the adapter as a way to extend your charging cable's reach by connecting a second cable. It's a nice accessory to include, but one that probably won't be needed by a lot of users. We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.2. This update simplifies our Weight test and expands on our CPI test from Test Bench 1.1, resulting in changes to test results in both sections. For more details, you can see our complete changelog here. I found the switches on this mouse have a little more resistance to them than the ones on my Razer ones, but not to the point where they’re a little more fatiguing. In fact, most of the time, I don’t even notice that resistance. But, it is noticeable some of the time, especially when you’re gaming. It may feel a little bare-bones compared to apps like Razer's Synapse 3 or MSI's Dragon Center, but I much prefer the clean and simple configuration; Ngenuity doesn't feel nearly as clunky and obtuse as some other controller apps out there, which makes enabling changes to keymapping and lighting effects is much faster and intuitive. I also appreciate that Ngenuity doesn't double as a marketing tool for HyperX. You won't have to worry about pop-up ads for hardware or peripherals or pushy updates for news blogs you don't read. One thing I do wish Ngenuity would integrate better is tech support and troubleshooting.

Also worth mentioning here are the low-friction 100% PTFE skates on the underside of the mouse, which allow it to glide smoothly across the mousemat. In case they wear out over time, you do get spares included in the box as well. The first thing I noticed about the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 is its visual simplicity. And then I realized that's because it is a simple six-button mouse. For a gaming mouse, it feels weird not to have more than just two extra side buttons. It's a fairly standard layout, and the buttons are definitely placed appropriately, but the mouse could benefit from another set below them. The dimensions of the HyperX Pulsefire Haste were retested following the discovery of an inconsistency between our listed measurements for this mouse and the identically-shaped HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless. The previous measurements for this mouse were incorrect and have been fixed. It's resulted in a slight increase in the portability score from 5.6 to 5.7 and the travel score from 5.1 to 5.4.We've converted this review to Test Bench 1.4. This update modifies our Hand Size Recommendation test, adding a more granular hand size recommendation chart. We've moved several minor tests into different test groups, removed the Travel usage, and added a new Raw Performance usage. For more details, you can see our full changelog here. Another mention-worthy extra here is its wireless adapter, which I don’t think is all that necessary since you can plug the wireless receiver directly into your PC and it works just fine. You can also connect via Bluetooth as well as use wired connectivity if you need to charge and use it at the same time. Setting up the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless couldn't be easier - you just need to remove the USB wireless receiver from its garage on the underside of the mouse, plug it into your PC, switch it on and away you go. Having somewhere to keep the receiver when you aren't using it is a fantastic feature because it makes it easier to take with you in your laptop bag.

One of the best wireless gaming mice in the world right now is the Razer Viper V2 Pro. Granted, it’s a lot more expensive than the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless but it’s slightly lighter, has 70G of acceleration and can reach up to 30K DPI.Anyone who wants a simple wireless gaming mouse with plenty of battery life should consider the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Wireless. Comfortable and accurate, it's a pleasure to use, and the fact that it weighs less than 60g is a massive selling point too.
