SeekerHyperX Pulsefire Raid
The HyperX Pulsefire Raid is a good MMO gaming mouse, though some dedicated MMO mice have more side buttons. That said, it feels well-built and has a right-handed shape suitable for all grip types. Performance-wise, it has a wide CPI range, a CPI you can adjust by increments of 50, and a very low lift-off distance. It also has customization software for programming buttons, adjusting lighting, and changing sensor settings. Unfortunately, it has very high click latency for a gaming mouse, and the sensor undershoots the set CPI more during quick cursor movements.

The HyperX Pulsefire Raid has a bounty of customization options and lightweight construction, but middling durability and subpar software are compromises that limit its appeal.
