HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless review 2024: for work and play

If you think that high-end gaming mouse are getting more expensive, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless should put your mind at ease. It joins the growing number of lightweight wireless gaming mice, which makers say is the new trend. Instead of going the expensive route and charging you a wireless tax, it did the opposite, which should already make it popular with people who want to save money.

But HyperX does more than just sell it for a low price. The Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless is also lighter, lasts longer, and relies heavily on wireless connectivity by having both Bluetooth and 2.4GHz wireless. It beats my previous pick, the legendary Razer Deathadder V3 Pro, as well as other great products from Razer and Glorious.

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless Specifications

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless: Design

When lightweight mice first became famous, almost every manufacturer used a “honeycomb” pattern of holes across the body to make their mice lighter. With the Pulsefire Haste 2, HyperX is the latest company to move away from this design. Instead, they went with a metal body for their latest mouse.The form is the same as the first-generation Haste. Aside from the new solid body design, the only thing that is different is that the HyperX logo is now in the front and center. The Haste 2 still has the smaller text mark on the left side of the mouse. This is part of its branding. You can buy this mouse from its official website

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless: Comfort

Since the Haste 2 is small and light, picking it up and moving it shouldn’t be too hard, so it doesn’t have any feel. But that doesn’t mean it can’t get slippery, especially if your hands are sweaty from games. But don’t worry, HyperX has you covered. The Haste 2 comes with four pieces of rough-surfaced black grip tape that are already cut to size.

We thought it would be easier to put the grip tape on the Haste 2, but it was a little harder. The Razer DeathAdder V3 Pro and the Asus ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition were both easy to put grip tape on.

Gaming Performance

In Forza Horizon 5, we designed the back buttons to be used for shifting. This makes drifting through the streets of Mexico a very exciting thing to do. We were able to jump right into Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2024 because it was easy to change the buttons on the fly. The reload and run buttons were easy to find. In a similar way, the trigger locks let us quickly switch between a short tap to shoot and a full pull as soon as we got into the nearest car in Battlefield.

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless: Battery Life

The insides have been improved with a HyperX 26K sensor and custom HyperX switches. The wireless version has support for both 2.4Ghz and Bluetooth and a large 100-hour battery life. After using the Pulsefire Haste 2 for more than a week, I can say with confidence that it’s just as good as the first one. At $89.99, it’s priced similarly to other wireless mice that do similar things.

Price and Availability

Now available, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless may be purchased for $89.99 (or £94.99 or AU$149) in the United States, the United Kingdom, or Australia, respectively. Given that the Razer Deathadder V3 Pro and the Razer Viper V2 Pro cost nearly twice as much ($149/£149/AU$279), it’s a great pricing for a lightweight wireless gaming mouse. The Glorious O2 Wireless is the most expensive option, retailing for $99 (about £80 or AU$150). For even more cost-effective choices,

Final Words

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless is a great game mouse, just like the first one. Now that the device has custom HyperX internals, a better general body design and better ergonomics, as well as a strong wireless connection, there aren’t many things wrong with it. At $89.99, it’s a great deal, and it can compete with many other game mice that cost up to twice as much (like the $150 Razer Viper V2 Pro).
