Our Verdict

HyperX Pulsefire Raid

HyperX Pulsefire Haste

The HyperX Pulsefire Raid is a more versatile wired gaming mouse, while the HyperX Pulsefire Haste has better overall performance. The Haste is much lighter and feels sturdier. It has a more flexible cable, mouse feet that glide more smoothly, and much lower click latency. It also has an ambidextrous shape and is nearly universally suitable for all grip types and hand sizes. On the other hand, the Raid has a more precisely adjustable CPI and a right-handed shape best-suited for larger hands using a claw or fingertip grip or medium and large-sized hands using a palm grip.
