HYPERX HAS made a name for itself making really good products that sell for reasonable prices, and even though ownership of the brand has moved from Kingston to HP recently, nothing much seems to have changed. The standard Pulsefire Haste (wired) mouse was released to appeal to the eSports crowd who wanted a fast and accurate mouse that was comfortable for long play sessions. Of course, a wire-free version of that mouse would seem to be an oxymoron, what with wireless introducing lag, dropout, and recharging concerns, but there are undoubtedly plenty of Fortnite and Apex Legends players out there who value the convenience of wireless over the small performance advantage offered by wired.
The Pulsefire Haste Wireless is distinguished by its honeycomb design, which allows air to flow through the mouse and to your hand. There’s no fan in the mouse, so you don’t notice the ventilation but the overall effect is that it makes the mouse extremely light, weighing in at just 61g, including the built-in rechargeable battery.
The mouse also features a symmetrical design, which makes it good for left- and right-handed users, although the two side buttons favor right-handers as they sit where the thumb rests. There are slight finger-shaped indentations on the primary mouse buttons, which feels comfortable, as well as a clicky-style mouse wheel and a button to switch between 400, 800, 1600, and 3200dpi so you can adjust sensitivity without having to go into Windows or HyperX NGENUITY software settings.

AMD's turn to drop the ball?
WITH INTEL'S RAPTOR LAKE CPUs falling over, the company firing around 15,000 employees, and cancelling its 2024 innovation event, AMD must have been enjoying the view - until its new Ryzen 9000 desktop CPUs rolled out. So, is AMD's CPU a minor stumble or game-changing fumble?
Intel issues fix for Raptor Lake degradation
EARLIER THIS YEAR, I wrote about difficulties I was having with a Core 19-13900K processor (see MPC230 Tech Talk). Little did we realize that we were only seeing the tip of the iceberg. While most complaints have involved the unlocked Core i9 Raptor Lake CPUs, it appears the instability problems build up and potentially impact many Raptor Lake-13th and 14th Gen Core CPUs, with Intel identifying 22 different desktop parts.
