Our Verdict

Razer DeathAdder V2

HyperX Pulsefire Haste

The Razer DeathAdder V2 and the HyperX Pulsefire Haste are both amazing gaming mice. The Razer is a good choice for people who want lower click latency and a wider and more precise CPI range. It also has three times the amount of programmable inputs than the HyperX but is slightly bigger and heavier. On the other hand, the HyperX is amazing for ultra-light gaming as it features a honeycomb design that makes it very lightweight. Its CPI variation is also lower, so the set CPI is more consistent whether you’re moving your mouse slowly or quickly.
