HyperX - Pulsefire Dart Wireless Optical Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting - Black

I love the padded cushions on the sides of the mouse. They make long gaming sessions more comfortable. Customizing the buttons and LEDs is really easy with the Ngenuity app as well. Battery life is pretty good; I can get through a whole day and more with one charge.

I had this mouse for less than a month. I rely on my mouse heavily. After 2 weeks the bottom pads were easily scratched up and didn't look as nice. Also the Ngenuity software isn't compatible with macOS so you can't customize the coloring. After having it for maybe 3 weeks, it began lagging and not responding properly.

Very happy with this mouse, padding's comfortable, responds nicely, was originally very wary of switching to a wireless mouse, but have not experienced any issues with it's performance, if it weren't for the amount of extra movement freedom i have on my mousepad I wouldn't even notice it was wireless. This has become my daily driver.

I'm going to compare this to the Corsair Dark Core SE because I purchased them both specifically due to the option of Qi charging. I prefer the shape, feel, buttons, weight, use and pretty much everything of the Hyper X over the Corsair. I'm not really a fan of the "tons of button" mice and I don't like the weird "wings" hand rests on the Corsair. The Qi on both mice works on third party chargers which I tested but the Hyper X seemed a bit easier to charge. The Corsair had to be positioned perfectly on the charger near the back of the mouse instead of the center meaning it will not sit on some of the circular Qi chargers. The Corsair has Bluetooth which is a plus if you want to connect it to two PCs and switch easily. Last but not least, the reason you should not buy this mouse, at least yet, is the awful BETA software. Whereas Corsair's iCUE software is kind of clunky and confusing at least it offers you a TON of options when you do figure it out the Hyper X NGENUITY is too simple with barely any adjustability.NIt is a windows 10 store app and not a program you would normally download and install from your web browser. You cannot minimize the software to tray so if it is running it will just be in your task bar always. You CANNOT save a profile to the mouse directly even though the mouse claims to have 1 onboard memory slot so as soon as you close the software it will revert back to default settings! I emailed Hyper X about this and they said since the app was in BETA they had no idea if/when this functionality would be added. If, like me, you want a mouse that you can easily charge without having to fiddle around with plugging in a cord or that has heavy disposable batteries do yourself a favor and just buy the new Razer Viper Ultimate or Basilisk Ultimate with their charging stand.
