Our Verdict
Logitech G403 HERO
HyperX Pulsefire Raid
The Logitech G403 HERO is an excellent FPS gaming mouse, while the HyperX Pulsefire Raid is a good, versatile gaming mouse. The Logitech is somewhat lighter and feels sturdier. It also has a more flexible cable, a wider CPI range, a more consistent sensor, and a lower click latency. Additionally, it has companion software compatible with Windows and macOS. Comparatively, the HyperX has three additional side buttons and a scroll wheel with L/R tilt buttons. Unfortunately, its companion software is only compatible with macOS. Both mice are suitable for all grip types but primarily for medium and larger-sized hands.
