HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro 4K review
The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro 4K Wireless is the company’s most ambitious mouse yet, marking its entry into the ultra-high polling rate space. At its core, it’s designed to satisfy competitive players who demand every ounce of speed and precision, boasting an adjustable polling rate that scales up to 4000 Hz. That means it reports its position to your PC four times per millisecond, offering smoother tracking and quicker responsiveness than the more common 1000 Hz standard. While the leap to 4K polling won’t make every gamer instantly better, it does make for a more consistent, snappy feel – particularly in fast-paced shooters where tracking micro-adjustments is critical for demanding and competitive players.
