HyperX Pulsefire Surge

 

The crazy visual flair comes from the fully customizable 32 zones of lighting, each zone being a little bit of the illumination glowing around the mouse's perimeter. Each zone is a segment, about half an inch long, of the encircling strip. On a mouse,...

32 zones of RGB lighting. High DPI range. Tactile scroll wheel. Ambidextrous design.

Software wouldn't launch on some test systems. Lefties won't be able to use side shortcut buttons easily.

The HyperX Pulsefire Surge is an adequate ambidextrous gaming mouse whose snazzy, encircling RGB lighting sets it apart, but its software needs some fixes.

HyperX Pulsefire Surge Mouse Review: All of the Lights

Buggy software

The HyperX Pulsefire Surge is a joy to use and gorgeous to behold, featuring a high-quality sensor and 32 distinct lighting zones.

HyperX Pulsefire Surge Review

 

HyperX's Pulsefire Surge brings in an accurate optical sensor, RGB lighting, software support in a beautifully illuminated gaming mouse.

High sensor tracking accuracy ; Beautiful RGB design

Slightly expensive

HyperX has made serious improvements in their latest mice lineup by upgrading the existing ones with a better optical sensor. The Pulsefire Surge uses the PMW3389 and obtains an impressive score even if not the best in sensor performance. Apart from...

HyperX Pulsefire Surge RGB Mouse Review

 

The HyperX Pulsefire Surge RGB seems to offer the perfect balance of performance and aesthetics, boa It's only HyperX's second gaming mouse – great if you love RGB!

Super solid build quality.

Just 6 buttons could limit appeal.
