Best Mouse 2024:
HYPERX PULSEFIRE HASTE 2 MOUSE
Writer: Andrew Wilson
Gaming mice are one of the many accessories every gamer relies on daily. Whether it be for better accuracy when aiming at an enemy, for precise movements when solving puzzles, or just browsing the web, a gaming mouse can be one of the cheapest peripherals available. I recently got to test the newly released HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2, a lightweight wired gaming mouse. Coming in two colours, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 is offered in either a white or black finish, respectively.
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 is an excellent mouse for anyone wanting a gaming mouse that won’t weigh them down, either in use or when travelling. It is much nicer to use than other mice I have used in the past and offers better customizability to adapt to different use cases than some competitors. Build quality, while sturdy, will be interesting to see how it stands up to extended use, especially the paracord wiring. It has certainly earned its place in my setup and in my laptop bag for the time being.
HyperX delivers a lightweight, accurate, and responsive gaming mouse, perfect for daily use and on-the-go gaming experiences.
- Up to 100 hours of battery life: The Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless gets up to 100 hours of battery life on a full charge, so you’ll spend more time racking up wins, and less time charging on the sidelines.
- Easier mouse movement for easier wins: Game at the speed of ultra-light with the Pulsefire Haste 2. Even with a solid upper shell, it weighs just 61g*, designed to help you move quicker, game better, and feel less fatigue.
ASUS ROG HARPE ACE AIM LAB EDITION
Writer: Joe Findlay
When shopping for the best possible gaming mouse, you are searching for any specs that might give you the edge against your opponents, but what if you find a mouse with the specs plus a way to help train you to be a better gamer? Enter the ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition, a mouse resulting from collaborating with top Esports gamers and the people at Aim Lab.
While not the most expensive gaming mouse on the market (not even among other ROG mice), the $149.99 USD price tag can be a pretty tall order for a lot of gamers, especially given the saturated market of flashy mice from big names that can get the job done just fine. Asus is betting that their collaboration with Aim Lab and the engineering that went into making the best mouse possible will bring the gamers their way. As a more casual gamer, I wouldn’t spend this much on a mouse. A more serious gamer, however, may find what they are looking for in the ASUS ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition.
The ROG Harpe Ace Aim Lab Edition is a mouse that is not just built for gamers, it is built for you.
- Pro-Tested Form Factor —- This gaming mouse was co-developed with esports professionals to ensure maximum stability and control when flicking and tracking, designed for gaming professionals.
- Aim Lab Settings Optimizer —- Synergistic software analyzes player strengths and styles to tailor mouse settings uniquely to unleash your professional potential.
RAZER COBRA GAMING MOUSE
Writer: Matt Keith
Following Razer’s trademark matte black finish, the Razer Cobra’s only accent comes in the form of a glossy black crevis that helps accentuate the eight programmable buttons. In typical Razer fashion, the company’s logo rests as an illuminated symbol at the base of the palm rest, with full RGB lighting controlled via Razer’s Synapse software. This same software also handles the Cobra’s underglow RGB lighting, with everything working in unison to create a sharp and minimalistic look.
Where the Razer Cobra really shines, however, is in its price. At $39.99, it offers a quality product at a fraction of the price of other mice with the same build quality and features. It’s the perfect mouse for gamers just starting out who want a premium mouse experience without the premium price. Although it lacks some of the nice features found in the Pro version, the Cobra is still an excellent buy for those looking to get into the game without breaking the bank.
While it doesn’t come equipped with some of the bells and whistles of the Pro, the Razer Cobra still packs a solid punch when it comes to features and build quality.
- 58G LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN — Built to fit most grip styles, the mouse allows for fast, precise control and feels comfortable to use during long gaming sessions
- GEN-3 OPTICAL MOUSE SWITCHES — Unrivalled durability and speed with switches that have an extended 90-million click lifecycle and eliminate double-clicking issues, boasting a blistering 0.2 ms actuation time without debounce delay
