Headshot Tool - The First HyperX Gaming Mouse! Find out what's special about the new Pulsefire FPS

    Hello% username%! By HyperX products we most often mean fast drives and memory modules inside gaming computers. But PC gaming is not perfect as a single hardware, so the special unit Kingston today releases all the gaming peripherals that gamers may need. And now - a gaming mouse. Why did HyperX take up the release of the "rodent"? Because someone had to do everything right! Today we will tell you what is special about this model and what nuances the creators had to consider in the development of Pulsefire FPS.



    The beauty of the PC has always been that it remained a "hodgepodge" in defiance of monobrand models, which were controlled by a single manufacturer. It is precisely the competition that we owe to the fact that from typewriters and auxiliary tools of scientists, PCs have turned into an omnipotent machine, even the home version of which can be “tuned” even for workers, even for gaming purposes.

    In the second case, oddly enough, just the uniform filling becomes important. If in iron everyone chooses the fastest filling, then peripheral devices are for the most part a matter of taste. And, if your taste coincided with the taste of the keyboard developers, it is very likely that the rest of the "body kit" of the gaming machine will be to your taste.

    Therefore, HyperX today is not only memory with support for infernal overclocking and fast SSDs, but also everything you need to equip an esportsman. Mechanical keyboards, sensitive gaming headsets, rugs, and now, the first HyperX Pulsefire FPS gaming mouse! And not simple, but gold under the control of a PixArt 3310 sensor sensitive on any surface! All gaming mice can be divided into models that are optimal for the genre of MMORPG or FPS games. Pulsefire FPS, as you might guess, should be the best choice for shooters in which the accuracy of guidance and ergonomics are much more important than the number of “special moves” under each of the fingers.

    But are all these newfangled gaming mice really useful? After all, there is an opinion that gaming peripherals are a kind of “red mudguards for Lada”. That is, “+30 to speed” according to the owner, and “+100 to price” in comparison with office class manipulators.


    The HyperX gaming mouse is not a “out of nowhere” model, but the completion of the game kit.

    In addition, so that amateurs can more clearly see what they are paying extra for, peripheral manufacturers are constructing heavy monsters with wide bodies and a dozen keys that just get underfoot fingers interfere with moving at least a millimeter to the side.



    It turns out that strength is not in the number of keys, brother. Then what?

    Developed all the polymers


    Plastic is the head of everything when it comes to enclosures of electronic devices, and, especially, computer peripherals. The penny mice, which are sold by weight of Chinese stores, and expensive models also have a plastic case. What is the difference?

    We reject the criteria of toxicity, because only the most desperate "noname" practices dangerous types of plastic. Otherwise, plastic is distinguished by:

    Durability . not to launch the mouse into the wall, but to prevent the case from cracking after a couple of years from "fatigue" and not even begin to creak.
    Tactile sensations (stiffness). It just seems that it makes no difference whether you play with a hard, “wooden” mouse, or with soft touch plastic. The difference comes after a couple of hours or after a week with regular launch of shooters or MMORPG. To explain for a long time, just remember that the soft grip on the working tools appeared for a reason.
    Resistance to pollution . Starting with dust particles, continuing with fingerprints and other "joys" that the door to the entrance of a multi-storey building will envy. Gaming mice do not become slippery, sticky, or “shiny” unless you try to make them as dirty as possible on purpose.

    Pulsefire FPS , for example, is made of not easily soiled plastic, and the side panels are textured so that the "rodent" is snap and does not slip in the hand in the midst of the game.

    There is never much reliability


    Mice that have spent their entire lives “moving the cursor” around the screen can hardly be called indispensable. Broke - threw - bought "about the same." But you "stick to the gaming mouse", the effectiveness of the game depends on its shape, sensor features, key travel and other parameters. You can get used to a new mouse, but not immediately, and the process will not be pleasant.

    Therefore, gaming mice must be reliable - the new HyperX model, for example, is equipped with Omron switches. Besides the fact that they work quickly, with such a basis, the keys can survive 20 million keystrokes! And the braided cable is not “oak” and is well protected from wear.



    Equal speed and usability


    The number of DPIs in the gaming mouse are numbers that are important, but only up to a certain threshold. It’s like the speed of loading a web page: the smaller the better, but in practice the extra millisecond does not help readers read articles faster.

    The new HyperX mouse is supported by a really useful, most "running" range with a margin of 400 to 3200 DPI . It happens even more, but the extraordinary figures are needed only by supermen with perfectly accurate hand movements, even with excessive sensitivity. Megapixels, DPI and the like of joys should always be in moderation, no matter what the marketers throat.



    In moderation, there should be keys on the case, because convenience in long-term game battles is more important than the “fourth key in the third row, something I assigned to it ...”, while another frag is “stuffed” on you. Six reliable keys in a convenient and beautiful case (the mouse became the winner of the Red Dot Award 2017 for design) is the necessary minimum, beyond which the fan-specific equipment begins.



    In Russia - in the forefront


    The HyperX Pulsefire FPS mouse can be purchased in Russia in June - for 4000 rubles you get a cool gaming mouse with a two-year warranty, developed by one of the most respected gaming brands.

    Nothing can replace skill and ingenuity even in amateur battles, but it is much more convenient to organize races in specialized shoes than in slippers. More details about all the qualities of the new mouse and their applicability in practice, we will soon talk in the review.
