Our Verdict
Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse
HyperX Pulsefire Dart
The HyperX Pulsefire Dart and the Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Mouse are mice designed for different uses. The HyperX is better suited as a wireless gaming mouse, while the Microsoft is a wireless mouse suited for office or productivity tasks. The Microsoft has an ergonomic design, a scroll wheel with L/R tilts for horizontal scrolling, and a storage compartment for its USB receiver, which the HyperX lacks. On the other hand, the HyperX has many more customization features for its sensor. However, both mice lack Bluetooth compatibility, and neither have software available on macOS.
