Customers are saying

Customers regard the Pulsefire Core Wired Optical Gaming Mouse with RGB Lighting favorably, particularly praising its RGB lighting, ease of use, and build quality. Many appreciate the comfortable feel and size, along with the customizable DPI settings. However, some users experienced issues with the scroll wheel and found the software to be less than intuitive. A few also noted accidental clicks on the side buttons.

    Been put to good use. Love the adjustable DPI settings and how you can set it to color coordinate with the HyperX keyboard.

    At the end of the day, you get what you pay for. I will say i just got into gaming and didnt orginally want to spend a lot on a mouse. After about 3 months when i turned my computer on the mouse wouldnt have power. I would unplug and plug back in to get power.

    I've had one of these for a little over a year, and decided to buy another as a backup when I saw it on sale. Both of my copies have great build quality and no quality control issues to speak of. The clicks are crisp and tactile and require an above average amount of force to actuate. Excellent scroll wheel and a comfortable shape for all grip styles. It uses a PixArt 3327 sensor which isn't exactly a top-of-the-line sensor by today's standards, but it's fine for casual gaming. The cable is a braided rubber cable and isn't quite as soft/flexible as other offerings such as those found on the HyperX Pulsefire Haste, Endgame Gear XM1r or the Roccat Burst Pro. It's not the worst I've used, but definitely not the best. While I prefer the Roccat Burst Core and Logitech G203 in this price range, if you find this on sale it's a great option. If you're interested in an inexpensive, basic, no-frills gaming mouse, give the Pulsefire Core a try, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

    Nice wired mouse for the price. Works well, rolls smoothly, can change the color pattern/speed. Plenty sensitive for me, but I’m not using it for gaming so I can’t attest to the product from a gaming perspective. I would buy again.

    The mouse worked great and felt great for $30. It had a nice small touch of RGB, is fairly well built, and is easy to throw in a bag and take around as a nice wireless mouse for your laptop.

    very nice the mouse has a line curved up so it doesn't rub on a mouse pad. the rgb lighting is very subtle and unique makes it look high quality. the mouse is light but evenly weighted. the buttons are amazing side buttons are easy to press but not so easy that u accidently press them.

    This mouse works like a charm. I was skeptical of its quality, but was pleasantly surprised by both the mouse itself and it's companion software. The mouse feels lightweight (I'm partial to heavier mice, but that's just preference) but well-built

    Really nice mouse. Have to get used to the side buttons as I tend to click by accident. I like the color changing icon and it glides smoothly on my mousepad. Nice scroll wheel, too. Easy to use and good size that fits comfortably in my hand. I would recommend.

    Unlike alot of gaming mice it doesn't have an overly obnoxious product design that doesn't cause discomfort in long work/play sessions. The RGB lighting also has easy to use software that allows you to customize color cycling.

    It’s a good mouse, lightweight sleek and comfy in your hand, however it’s the only mouse I’ve had that has died on me, I’m hoping it’s just this specific mouse I bought that is the problem, because I’m purchasing another one

    Pretty good and simple mouse with two side buttons you can custom keybind in games. There are 2 middle buttons you can also keybind so in total you have 4 custom buttons you can keybind. Luckily there's none of that rubber stuff on the side that wears off from constant usage like that. It's all plastic. Will buy this mouse again once the current one I have malfunctions.

    The wife needed a mouse that was nearly indestructible, yes she is on of those "Get frustrated == teach rodent how to fly" types. It looks "pretty" and has worked flawlessly since the day I connected it to her computer. And Yes, it has had several "Flying lessons" and survived ... so far :-)

    An absolute delight! I needed something to replace my old Logitech G400 and wanted something with DPI switches. This fit the bill and I've been so happy with this one I bought a second for my computer at work. It's a bit lighter in the hand than my logitech (which has caused me a few mouseslips in online chess), but it feels and works great.
