HyperX Pulsefire Surge – RGB Wired Optical Gaming Mouse, Pixart 3389 Sensor up to 16000 DPI, Ergonomic, 6 Programmable…

I normally use razer mouse I have both deathadder and mamba te just the te sensor is really lacking. From different reviews I took rocket jump ninja advice and brought this hyperx surge over other’s he had on his site. Now here the reason I have 4 stars sure they fixed the buttons colliding but the piece I got on the right side is uneven toward the front so my ring finger grinds against what is the plastic side almost like a knife very annoying and this only occurs on the right side left was fine. I’m still keeping it since it a really good mouse with sensor and weight just have to push the side in making the plastic go in an obvious manufacturing flaw. I also got to say for those who want to get this mouse you might not like it since it tapers toward the back leaving you nowhere to place your palm, and take a bit of time you do get used to it just a fyi.update: It has been about almost a month now since purchase the sensor and function is great probably one of the best mouse I’ve used. It’s lighter than the razor just by a few grams moves nice and accurate. I found during this month It took about 3 days to a full week to get used to just had to adjust my grip since there was no place to rest for my pinky since its tapered profile at the back end. I had to do two adjust must one was change my ring and pinky to kind of move in toward the mouse like a claw grip second is tilting the mouse rear outward a little so that new grip sits comfortably on the mouse. I also found kind of a con on my razer the scroll wheel can tilt right or left to scroll side ways. On the hyperx for a total lose of a good reason they decieded to give you a tilting mouse but only to the right why? completely baffles me either have the function or don’t why go half way?

Funny how Amazon sends me e-mails to do a product review for many things I purchase yet I don’t bother, but this product for some reason they didn’t and I had to seek out and do one voluntarily without being prompted? I just wanted to say this mouse is nice. It’s light weight, smooth, the buttons don’t overlap, it’s simple, it gets the job done, and it’s a nice simple premium mouse. If you want to customize it, don’t download the HyperX Windows Store app, download the older driver instead (the one on the right hand side that doesn’t mention Surge). Configure your profile there, then drag it down into one of the three memory slots. That will save you from doing a 1 star review after I almost did. After that, the mouse is fully customization with a persistent on-board memory even with different computers and if you uninstall the software. What more could you ask? It does the trick, just do the software portion as I explained and you’ll be happy. I love the mouse honestly it’s just a shame HyperX has a crappy QA and marketing department it seems, not to mention bad programmers with the UWP app. Be smart about it and the product is good. That’s all I have to say.UPDATE: They removed the legacy software from their store. Their UWP Windows Store version is complete garbage. Changing 5 star review to 1 star. Dear HyperX: Stop this UWP madness, develop on a proper framework which doesn’t force users to use the garbage Windows 10 store.

It’s basically a really good and precise mouse , very customizable with awesome RGB lighting. The software is so so but it works. It’s still in beta stage, has some bugs, one of the is that you cannot minimize the app to the system tray. It’s stays in the task bar of windows no matter what.About the mouse I’ll say it works great by itself. It feels comfortable in the hand, it’s a little heavy compared to the Corsair harpoon rgb I had but nothing to worry about, it’s comfortable. I have medium to large hands and this mouse works best for both CLAW and PALM grip, I’d say you can use fingertip style if you have very large hands. But it’s mostly palm/claw grip mouse. I use both depending in what I’m doing.This mouse has a Pixart 3389 optical sensor which is a high end one, a slightly upgraded 3360. So you’ll get acuérdate aiming in fps games. Build quality seems ok, it kinda feels cheap but not by much, it just has a very plastic feel to it. It won’t ruin your experience. The price-benefit ratio is great and I’m loving it so far. I recommend it.Pros:-Very precise and responsive tracking-Awesome rgb and customization-Pixart 3389-1000hz polling rate (1ms)-Looks great-InexpensiveCons:-Build quality is just OK.-Software needs improvement, still in beta stage

I like the brand but this isn’t what I would call good. There are plenty of better and cheaper options for mice out there. I’d rather continue using my 3+ year-old $16 mouse that now has a broken right-click than this thing. And that’s the reason I’m looking for a new mouse in the first place.In General:Pros-The mouse build quality.The RGB lighting. (when the software is open)Cons-The Software. (Check the bottom of review)*It is far to small for my bigger hands.Weighs a lot for its size.Some movements just wouldn’t register (I’d move and for a brief second it wouldn’t go anywhere so I found myself ending up just short of where I wanted to go and where I should have been)*The Software:The software is buggy and poorly designed. There is no obvious easy way to save the customization setting. It has minuscule settings for the program itself, such as open on startup and open minimized. That’s minimized to the taskbar, by the way, there is no option to hide it like every other product software. You will want to keep it open, and minimized if you don’t want your mouse colors to start violently rotating through your set colors. Lastly, the terrible software has to be downloaded off the windows store; which I didn’t think anyone actually used.

 **full video w/ voice explanation is in the videos section of this product!I’d like to preface this by noting that the actual packaging of the box seemed like it took a beating, as evidenced by the black dust (?) marks on it. I had suspicions that it was a returned item but I didn’t notice any issues when I first used it.*I’ve only used it for two days. I was going to wait until I’ve used it for a reasonable amount of time but I’m just a super paranoid person so I have to address this issue in a review.PRO:-fast, tactile clicks-smooth matte coating (prone to attracting sweat but it’s really comfy so whatever haha)-somewhat textured sides, I don’t really give much care to the sides but it’s noticeable-bright rgb lights with good rgb range-braided cablesCONS:***I paid for a NEW product, not refurbished/used.-abused box, seemingly returned item.-attracts sweat, noticeable stain that goes away after a while but makes me wonder if it’ll cause an issue after long term use.-fraying on the cables, though I don’t really care if it doesn’t effect the performance of the mouse. Though obviously, I have my suspicions.-their software, Hyperx Ngenuity, literally makes me want to break down in tears. Where do I even start? I was so excited for this product and it really did perform the way I expected it to but the fact that some rgb effects don’t work really takes away from the excitement. Specifically, the wave and trigger effect does not work. I’ve tried everything; restarting my computer, uninstalling the software, shutting down other rgb programs etc. Nothing worked.I’m not one to care for rgb lighting but the fact that there are defects in the mouse concerns me as this is a telltale sign of malfunctioning in the future.I’d like to also note that I’m a very paranoid person. I’d like to give the benefit of the doubt to hyperx and keep on using this product without concerns but I would rather not take any chances. I’m going to use it for a couple of more days, since it’s New Years & I’m not tryna return it on New Years (I’m not a monster haha), and I’ll see if there’re any other errors that I can catch. I will be returning this product and buying a new one because I love this mouse 🙂 Hopefully I’ll get a better one next time.**rating it as a two star due to the inconvenience + unreliable softwarethe hardware/performance = 4.5/5 :))
