Is HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro Gaming Mouse Good?
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro Gaming Mouse is a mouse that is mainly designed for FPS gaming. It is an ambidextrous mouse designed for FPS gaming. It is a fairly light mouse.
The shape of the mouse would be more comfortable for a person with large hands. This mouse almost forces you to use a claw grip due to its substantial rear bump. This is a mouse I would never recommend being a daily driver. It is designed for gaming.
HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro Design
Sensor
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro uses Pixart 3389 sensor for its precise tracking. It has a lift detection of between 2mm and 3mm which will reduce unnecessary movements when lifting your mouse. It also has a native DPI of up to 16,000. The polling rate of the HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro is 1000hz
The lift-off distance is low, overshooting, and won’t track your movement when lifting and adjusting your mouse in the mousepad. This is supposed to be a plug-and-play mouse, so it doesn’t have software to change the polling rate or adjust the DPI settings of the mouse.

Buttons
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS has 6 buttons but all of which are customizable. All buttons are using Omron switches that are light and satisfying to press.
On the top side of the mouse, you can find the DPI button that switches to the other DPI preset when pressed. I think this button is too large, I almost always accidentally press this button when gaming.
Due to this mouse also using Omron switches, it will be clicky and loud the same as other gaming mice using the same switches. The scroll wheel is standard with a rubber coat, with alternating notches.
Physical Appearance
The dimensions are 127.54 x 71.07 x 41.91mm, this is a large mouse with a substantial height in its hump. It is an ambidextrous and ergonomic mouse, which is better used by people with larger hands.
The surface of this mouse is smooth plastic and both sides have rubber grips to help provide grip for the user. These rubber grips have small etched patterns in them that would collect dust, dirt, and sweat. Cleaning it is a hassle most of the time.
It has RGB but only a single zone effect in the logo and the mouse wheel. It is customizable via HyperX NGenuity software
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro weighs about 95 grams, it is a fairly light gaming mouse.
Connectivity
This mouse can only be connected to the computer with a USB A port. It has a 3mm braided fiber optic cable with a length of 1.8m. The cable is durable and won’t break easily.
The wire is extremely flexible and wouldn’t slow your mouse movement when you are dragging it in your mouse pad.
Everyday Use
Office and Productivity
You might not want to use this for daily productivity. This mouse’s large size is uncomfortable for extended periods of use. My wrist often feels tired when using this mouse in my work. This might be due to the overall shape of the mouse forcing me to use claw grip all the time.
This is compatible with Windows and MacOS, so you can bring this mouse on the go and use it at any workstation where you might need it.
Gaming
For RTS, MOBA, and MMO, it is good. The programmable buttons really elevate the Pulsefire FPS Pro in this aspect from its predecessor.
Regardless of your hand size, the only grip style that is comfortable with this mouse is a claw grip.
