Our Verdict

Razer Viper 8KHz

HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2

The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 and the Razer Viper 8KHz are wired gaming mice with maximum polling rates of 8000Hz. The HyperX is significantly lighter and has a single RGB lighting zone in the scroll wheel. On the other hand, the Razer has lower click latency and no RGB lighting.
