Our Verdict

HyperX Pulsefire Haste

Gamesense Meta

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste and the Gamesense Meta are both wired gaming mice. The HyperX has a honeycomb cutout pattern over its body, and it's a bit lighter. It feels better built, and its mouse feet glide smoother thanks to its rounded edges. Comparatively, the Gamesense has more programmable buttons and marginally lower click latency. If you have extra-large hands, you may prefer the HyperX's slightly larger size.
