Our Verdict

HyperX Pulsefire Haste

Finalmouse Starlight-12 Medium

The Finalmouse Starlight-12 Medium is an exceptional, wireless ultra-light gaming mouse, while the HyperX Pulsefire Haste is an excellent, wired ultra-light gaming mouse. The Finalmouse is lighter and feels sturdier. It connects either wired or wirelessly with its USB receiver. Comparatively, the HyperX has a wider CPI range, customization software, and RGB lighting, which the Finalmouse lacks. Both mice are well-suited for all grip types and most hand sizes.
