HyperX Pulsefire Haste Mouse Review

With the number of mice out there that have the label "Gaming Mouse" it would be hard to determine what differentiates one from another. This is where we come in, and checking out the HyperX Pulsefire Haste Lightweight Gaming Mouse (to give it its full title) we find out whether lighter is better. Lightweight But Feature Packed Weighing in at around the same weight as a tennis ball, the HyperX Pulsefire Haste is light. There is no way else to put it, 59 grams. I mean come on... Design So what's in the HyperX Pulsefire Haste box? Not a lot actually. You get the wired mouse (obviously), some grip tape, and then some replacement pads for the underside of the mouse. You get the standard warranty card and quick start guide, but that's the boring side of stuff. With a nice honeycomb d...

QPAD DX-700 Mouse Review

QPAD have delivered a wired alternative to their recent QPAD DX-900. This comes in the form of their QPAD DX-700, similar not only in name but it's almost an identical mouse. I recently reviewed the QPAD DX-900 and it's safe to say the key differences lie in whether you want to go wired or wireless. Whilst still relatively new to the scene, QPAD has already made quite the splash. With their range of "Pro Gaming Gear", they now have a variety of keyboards, mice, headsets, mousepads and more. I've had good impressions so far from their headset and mouse range. Design The QPAD DX-700 comes in the same style of premium packaging that QPAD dons as a standard. One thing I like about their packaging approach is that everything feels nice and secure. As you can see below it's effectively the ...
