What we are about to see in this review stems from a product we looked at back in April of last year, when we got up close and personal with the Pulsefire FPS. What we found then was a mouse that was more than capable of handling the demands of any FPS gamer, but if you were looking for software, fancy lighting, or a high-cost mouse, it was not for you. While we did have a couple of talking points to discuss at the end of that review, they were not deal breakers, and the bottom line is that we then recommended the mouse, and we still would today as well.

That history is what took HyperX back to the drawing board, to attempt to one-up themselves and deliver a mouse that covered all of the features that the masses desire. It takes on changes not only in design aesthetically, but it has also gotten a complete reworking of the interior. While components may be similar, there is not one bit of this latest mouse that is identical in any way to the Pulsefire FPS. That says a lot about HyperX and what they are trying to accomplish. They are listening to those who will voice their opinion, and have gone to the table to develop a new product that carries the Pulsefire name, yet is leaps and bounds better than what we saw initially.
