what's up guys Eber here with hard-working axe and in a world where wireless gaming mice are slowly start dominate the peripheral market space it's always good to go back and check out some amazing Wired gaming mouse and in this case I'm very excited to share my experience using the HyperX pulse fire surge gaming mouse you heard that right a gaming mouse from HyperX in fact their very first entry into the gaming mice market was with the launch of the pulse fire FPS mouse that retails for $40 which was amazing considering an entry-level product especially for their very first launch and then for an extra $20 they later on came up with the pro version of the exact same mouse that came with a better sensor and of course RGB lining now we have this the pulse fire search that retails for $70 and this thing is a well rounded package for that price because it's got a fantastic sensor great ergonomics and the RGB lighting is just amazing especially since it's 2018 and you know you've got to have it on a gaming mouse at this point so given how saturated the gaming mice market is this HyperX really have a chance to compete with the big brands like logitech SteelSeries and a few more well let's find out but first a quick message from our sponsor the new master keys MK 750 keyboard comes with a comfortable magnetic wrist rest beautiful RGB light bar on the perimeter and perky lighting control with a variety of Cherry MX switches and the bottom type-c connection cooler master doing it right check it out below okay so I'm aware of some of the quality control issues that some existing owners of this particular Mouse have experienced especially with the primary left and right click buttons essentially the gap between those two buttons were was pretty minimal so when you're clicking them both of them would sort of actuate at the same time and it was pretty uncomfortable rex has addressed that problem by increasing the gap and they've addressed that very quickly so if you have a defected unit you can actually fill out this form online with the model number located behind the mouse and then you HyperX will take care of you right away so I'll leave a link to that form in the description down below just in case but I do have the unit that has been completely addressed so let's move on to the review kicking things off let's talk about the design and HyperX has taken a safer up this time with a somewhat minimalist approach there's nothing aggressive here which I really like the body is ambidextrous although the forward and backward buttons are right hand only it is a little bit on the slimmer side when compared to my g43 wireless mouse but given that I have big hands the klog grip was my preferred setting but if you have smaller hands you can comfortably rest your palms on top of the body and I have to say throughout my usage both editing and gaming on it the experience was really comfortable you really have to feel this mouse for yourself in the first place because it really is an amazing body it's very compact not too super bulky so if you're looking for something a little bit on the portable side as well this is certainly something that you should look into the build quality of this mouse is really good for the price it's mostly constructed out of hard plastic materials and I didn't experience any signs of creaking which is awesome I also appreciate the matte texture choice throughout the body it really complements the grip and it's miles better than the glossy plastic finishes did you get with some other gaming mice that also attracts scratches and grease easily the mouse weighs at a hundred grams which might be a little bit on the heavier side for some users but I was pretty comfortable gaming on it do note that the weight isn't customizable the cable is braided but unfortunately it's pretty quick at forming kinks and part of that has to do with the thickness of the braid and the type of material that they've used now ironically the HyperX cloud alpha gaming headset comes with this amazing braided cable it's super smooth and very flexible so there's really form kings that easily and I really wish if they use the same material choice or the headset cable on the mouse because really as you can see it's just it's not gonna last that long at least that's what I think but you can easily address this issue by adding a mouse bungee to your setup but if you're on the other side of the train or this might be an annoying factor now I do have a question for you guys though do you think switching to this might be one of the reasons why you know gamers are switching to a wireless setup because you know not being able to deal with the cables and all that kind of stuff is it is a primary reason to switch from a wired gaming mouse to a wireless gaming mouse I don't know let me know in the comments down below the pulsefire search features amnon switches rated for fifty million clicks which is amazing and the primary left and right buttons feature great tactile feedback they don't require a lot of pressure to press which is nice so you can concentrate more on the gameplay the scroll wheel has a nice grip to it and the scroll are well defined which is great the DPI shift button is right beside it and it can cycle between three different deepened levels plus there are some key combinations that can let you adjust certain settings within the mouse for example if you want to adjust the brightness of the LED you just have to hold down the dpi shift button and had the backward button to reduce the brightness and you know turn off the RGB lining but if you want to increase it and if you want to turn that back on you can hit the DPI shift button and press the forward button it's very intuitive again little details that sort of add to an amazing experience using this mouse moving on to the sensor well this mouse feature is the Pixar 3389 optical sensor that's rated to go as far as 16,000 dpi which is again way to overkill but at this point I think it's just a marketing gimmick I was really comfortable gaming at the standard you know 800 to a thousand dpi which is sort of my preferred setting but needless to say tracking has been fantastic and I really enjoyed my time both editing and gaming on it jumping into a quick battlefield one session I was able to quickly aim and shoot my targets faster there was also zero acceleration which was amazing and liftoff distance is also very low meaning when you're adjusting or readjusting your position you won't really experience any interruptions within the gameplay the defined scroll snaps really help when it comes to switching weapons so overall a fantastic gaming experience that you're getting for $70 you know what else you do get for $70 RGB lighting my friends and this mouse looks absolutely stunning especially in the dark there is a subtle lighting throughout the body that looks very consistent the diffusion is also very nice and the gradient is certainly minimal it's super smooth so you're really not going to notice the LEDs inside it really looks amazing in the dark and it gives you a cool 360 degrees subtle effect there are two individual zones that you can customize so there's the logo that's located in the palm rest area and you can also adjust the individual LED colors within the mouse which is also pretty nice the drivers software is actually fairly easier to navigate around with as you can see you're greeted with a physical overview the mouse but I do want to point out that you have to create a profile in order to customize the functions like lighting and all that kind of stuff it's not a really big deal but it's something to keep note of and as you can see on the left hand side you do have the option to adjust the lighting on it so you can cycle between different effects like solid color cycle breathing wave trigger and of course you do have the option to turn the lining completely off if you're not a fan of RGB la now when they switch over to the advanced tab this is where things get a little bit interesting because you now have the ability to individually adjust the colors on the LEDs depending on the effect and you also have the ability to adjust the lighting effects along the speed and of course the direction as well as that's awesome moving on to the performance tab and that's where you have the ability to adjust the DPI but what's really interesting is you can assign an individual color to a certain dpi so if you are switching between certain dpi levels the mouse will actually illuminate at a specific or respective color depending on your choice and what's even cool is that there's a little pop-up notification that shows on the desktop indicating what dpi level you've chose so all these little things really add to an amazing experience using the pulsefire surge and finally there's macro recording on the pulse fire surge along with the ability to store profiles within the mouse so that's pretty nice so to conclude the pulse fire search from HyperX is a fantastic mouse for the price at $70 you really can't go wrong with this mouse because you're getting an amazing package with great sensor performance the button clicks of the online switches are fantastic the body by itself is also very comfortable to use and you cannot go wrong with the lighting on this mouse because it really competes with what razer offers so some of their gaming mice as well so really it is an awesome package for $70 and I think this starts an interesting conversation as to what HyperX has planned for the future because if you think about it HyperX started selling fantastic gaming headsets within a sub one and Adella price range and then they moved on to gaming keyboards starting with the a low FPS then came the a low elite eye which we've done a full review on and it can check it out right over here and then they came out with the RGB version optilead where you can adjust the color or the RGB lining through the drivers software so just like what Corsair has with their gaming keyboards their gaming mice and their gaming headsets hi 4x is taking the same approach by introducing this whole new ecosystem of gaming peripherals and I'm really curious to know your thoughts on the pulsefire surge is it an underrated Mouse for 2018 but more specifically if you're looking for a mouse within the sub 1 and another price range and if you don't want to spend 80 or $90 on a gaming mouse and considering that this is only there's only cost like $70 and you get an amazing package for that you know with great RGB lighting fantastic sense of performance and just great ergonomics would you actually consider this I'd love to know your
