HyperX Pulsefire Core

The HyperX Pulsefire Core is a good FPS gaming mouse. It feels very well-built, and it has an ambidextrous shape suitable for nearly all hand sizes using any grip type. It has a fairly wide CPI range and a CPI you can adjust by increments of 100. It also has a low lift-off distance, though it isn't as low as many other gaming mice. Unfortunately, it has high click latency, and some gamers may prefer a more responsive-feeling option.

The HyperX Pulsefire Core delivers excellent performance and a few premium touches in a surprisingly cheap gaming mouse. If you find its finger grips odd, you can always turn to the identically priced SteelSeries Rival 3.
