Our Verdict
Dream Machines DM1 FPS
HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro
The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro and the Dream Machines DM1 FPS are wired gaming mice with comparable performance. The HyperX feels sturdier and has a more precisely adjustable CPI. It also has lower click latency, and you can set custom profiles using the customization software, which is a feature the Dream Machines lacks. On the other hand, the Dream Machines is lighter and has slightly better mouse feet. It also has a more flexible paracord-like cable. The Dream Machines also has an ambidextrous shape, while the HyperX has a right-handed shape. Both mice are suitable for all grip types and most hand sizes, but the HyperX is suitable for medium-sized hands using a fingertip grip while the Dream Machines isn't.
