Know before you buy
The 8000Hz polling rate allows the mouse to report its position to your PC up to 8,000 times per second. This significantly reduces input latency compared to standard 1000Hz mice, providing a more responsive and fluid feel during fast-paced competitive gameplay.
Yes, the HyperFlex 2 cable is constructed from lightweight, flexible paracord material designed to minimize resistance. It feels almost wireless, significantly reducing the drag often associated with traditional braided mouse cables.
Absolutely. You can use the HyperX NGENUITY software to remap the six programmable buttons, create custom macros, adjust DPI settings, and personalize the RGB lighting effects to match your setup.
The HyperX switches are rated for 100 million clicks, which is significantly higher than many standard gaming mice. They are designed to provide consistent, tactile, and audible feedback over a long lifespan.
The grip tape is optional and included in the box for users who prefer extra texture or a slightly different feel for better control. You can choose to apply it to the main buttons and sides or leave the mouse surface as is.
The Pulsefire Haste 2 features 100% virgin PTFE skates that provide an exceptionally smooth glide on most standard mouse pads. While it will track on various surfaces, a high-quality gaming mouse pad is recommended to get the most out of the 26K sensor.
