CONCLUSION

   We only had three days to play around with the Pulsefire FPS but that was more than enough since it features our favorite claw grip design (palm grip is also supported). Overall we only have good things to say about the Pulsefire FPS since it’s a very comfortable mouse with sufficient tracking speed and near-excellent LOD. Of course we were somewhat surprised to see that HyperX “limited” the PMW3310 optical sensor by Pixart to 3200DPI as opposed to the 5000DPI it supports as maximum but most eSports gamers seem to prefer using 3200DPI so I guess it does make sense. As for grip the rubberized textured areas placed on both sides do improve grip but they are way too soft and for some strange reason the moment our hands started sweating they did become quite slippery. That’s not to say the Pulsefire FPS offers less in terms of grip compared to other gaming mice but the rubberized sections could be slightly better. The lack of programmable buttons and RGB illumination may turn some potential buyers away but these should not disappoint serious gamers looking for a comfortable, fast and accurate gaming mouse.

   HyperX started shipping the Pulsefire FPS optical gaming mouse today (that’s why we didn’t spend as much time with it as we usually would) with an attached price tag of USD49.99 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 59.49Euros inside the EU (Amazon.de). At the end of the day we don’t really think HyperX asks much for their Pulsefire FPS optical gaming mouse especially if you happen to be living in the USA. Certainly it may not be the fastest nor the best looking gaming mouse in the market but it does extremely well In terms of grip, comfort and accuracy meaning all the things HyperX prioritized when developing it and since we liked it so much that we may even be using it in our lab it goes without question that it’s worth our Golden Award.
