Digital life no longer depends on a single device. Nobody spends the day connected only to the computer, or using only the mobile; the modern user moves from one device to another and expects to vary his habits as little as possible, always preferring to use the same applications or the same “hardware”. He HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless, priced at 109.99 dollarsseeks to achieve this.
In a wireless headset, for example, everyone expects it to work on all of their devices. So it makes sense to think the same of a wireless mouse. Although these peripherals were originally designed for use in computers, today this is no longer enough; much less for players, customs people who spend a good part of their time finding the perfect setup which suits you best. They can’t change it every time they switch devices.
For this type of user, a product like the new HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 in its wireless version can be a great alternative if they are looking for a gaming mouse. This is also a demonstration of how much they have improved these devices in just a few years.
wireless gaming mouse
The Pulsefire Haste 2 was originally released as a new take on the lightweight mouse from HyperX, a brand that originated as a gaming division of Kingston but is currently only owned by tech giant HP. The wireless version of this mouse, as the name suggests, is virtually identical except that it has wireless networks instead of relying solely on the cable.
“Connections” in the plural, because HyperX offers two different options to connect the mouse to our devices, and therein lies one of its advantages, since we can choose the connection that best suits our needs and the type device we use. . This mouse offers two options: classic Bluetooth, and a 2.4 GHz connection which can be used with an included USB adapter.
HyperX includes an adapter to take advantage of the speed of your new mouse
The need to include this second connection comes from the serious limitations of Bluetooth, especially in terms of latency. When we move the mouse, we expect the cursor or reticle to mimic our movement in an absolutely precise and direct way; but with Bluetooth this is not possible due to the time it takes for the data to pass from the mouse to the device. The effect is as if the cursor is delayed, as if it takes time to realize how you want to move it. Now, for conventional use, this can be a nuisance, but not a serious problem; to navigate an interface and open files is somewhat acceptable. things change if the priority is the maximum speed of movement when the enemy flanked us in our favorite game; at this point, the mouse should look like an extension of your arm.
Faster, less latency
This is where the 2.4 GHz adapter included by HyperX in this mouse comes in. Although technically different from using a wired mouse, it is extremely similar; In my testing, I was able to use the mouse wired and wirelessly, and it was such a close experience that I have to admit that if there were any differences, I should blame myself and not the device.
The adapter uses a basic USB-A connection, so it’s compatible with most computers. To improve coverage, an extension cable is included to bring the adapter closer to the mouse, which is especially useful on desktop computers, which may be installed a little far from the desk (such as under the table). In this way it is possible to get an experience similar to that of a normal mouse, but without the inconvenience of dragging a cable across the table that can get caught in anything. In addition, there is always the possibility of connecting the mouse directly by cable, of recharging the battery while using the mouse, or simply if this is the option that one prefers.
The HyperX mouse works perfectly with an Android tablet
But this is not the only wireless connection available to this Puslefire Haste 2. A small selector at the bottom allows you to switch to a Bluetooth connection, compatible with the vast majority of portable devices. Like, for example, a tablet; I was able to verify that this HyperX mouse works perfectly with Android device, because it is recognized instantly after pairing. Considering that the Android experience with keyboards and mice has improved a lot, this can be a good option if we use the tablet as a work laptop; On the other hand, games will not benefit as well from this mouse, since most are not compatible with this type of interface.
A light but powerful mouse
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless follows the trend of recent years for lightweight mice, with weighing only 61 grams; It’s a delight to move it over any surface, it’s quick and precise. In fact, for many people, a model like this may be preferable to a larger, fuller mouse, especially for those who suffer from pain or arthritis after so many years on the computer.
For gamers, this lightness goes very well with the integrated HyperX 26K sensor, which allows the sensitivity to be increased up to 26,000 DPI (dots per inch); a scandal that the vast majority of people will not need, but which shows how accurate is it of this mouse. A welcome addition is the inclusion of new pads and control surfaces that improve grip, but are completely optional to install.
HyperX includes accessories to improve mouse grip and mobility
The weight reached by HyperX is doubly surprising given that it is a wireless model, with integrated batteries; For context, the wired model weighs 53 grams, which is just 8 grams lighter. Despite this, HyperX promises up to 100 hours of useand the time I’ve used this mouse has been enough to convince me that it should be very close.
It’s also worth noting that HyperX didn’t give up their gaming pride to gain this weight; this mouse did not give up the RGB lighting Mandatory in this type of products for players, although it is limited to the wheel area. Despite everything, the white model that EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre was able to receive for testing is magnificent, with a matte finish that makes it more elegant; It is also available in black, a more classic color for the gaming sector.
Considering its small size and weight, ergonomics is perhaps the weakest point from the Pulsefire Haste 2. It is based on an almost ambidextrous design, so it can be used with the right or left hand; the only difference is the two additional side buttons, which are really only usable by right-handed users as they are placed only on the left. Although it is a light mouse, its shape does not particularly adapt to any type of hand, and it can tire us after long hours of use. Also, the wheel may feel stiffer than it should, or we may be used to lighter wheels from other brands.
new competitor
With the Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless, HyperX has established itself as a serious alternative in the increasingly competitive market for lightweight wireless gaming mice. With a very low weight and the possibility of using 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth connections, it is a versatile mouse that can be an excellent companion for the computer and the tablet.
In white, the HyperX mouse is very elegant
There is no shortage of rivals, yes. Perhaps the most obvious is the Razer Orochi V2, with nearly identical weight and similar connectivity options, with Razer Hyperspeed. Logitech also has its own alternative, with the Logitech G705 with Bluetooth connection and Lightspeed.
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless is now available in Europe for 109.99 dollars in stores like Amazon.
