In the Pulsefire Surge HyperX has created a very solid gaming mouse hiding beneath a ring of RGB lighting, and regardless of your stance on all things RGB this deserves your consideration. Why? Simply put, the Pulsefire Surge combines quality components w...

I'm a fan of HyperX's work. It's easy for companies to think they can come in and make an easy buck in the high profit-margin world of PC gaming peripherals, but HyperX always makes a real effort to build a legitimately impressive product. And that shines...

This mouse is a great investment for newer gamers or those who just want to add a bit of colour to their lives.The HyperX NGenuity software is easy to use and you most probably will get distracted making various profiles.It is a cheaper alternative to wha...
All in all, we find the HyperX Pulsefire Surge to be a gigantic step up from its predecessor, the Pulsefire FPS. You get a longer lifespan of the main switches, the design is more elegant, there are RGB lights all around it, we feel the secondary switches...
