Read the in depth Review of HyperX Pulsefire Surge Peripherals. Know HyperX Pulsefire Surge build, design and performance quality along with pros and cons.
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 the impressive RGB-LED strip all around the mouse, there’s suitable software support to control the lighting effects, record macros and changing the DPI settings. The mouse can be a good candidate for hardcore gamers and even professional esports players. We didn’t come across any kind of deal-breaking flaws in the mouse throughout our testing. We do wish the mouse was priced slightly lower for a better price-to-performance ratio. If sensor tracking accuracy matters to you and you also want some RGB bling on the mouse with good software support, then you should definitely go for the HyperX Pulsefire Surge to take on the most demanding FPS games out there.

While this particular sensor was exclusive to Razer for a while, it was opened up to other manufacturers. So, how does the mouse actually perform? Is it capable enough to be used by professional esports players? Let’s find out.
