    It's a mouse with a great built quality, and in my opinion, with a great size and weight. Been using it since i bought it and i really really like it. The RGB is just a plus. Got it on sale and it was a really good option.

    I bought this with a HyperX keyboard, and the synergy works really well when it comes to feel and function. AS an individual starting to play more mnk games, it was a great investment in something that will last a very long time.

    The Hyper-X Pulsefire Core gaming mouse is a surprisingly decent mouse for it's low price point. Pros- Easy to plug and play. Use it straight out of the box. My kids get a kick out of the cycling rbg emblem on the mouse, so I guess I'll call that a pro. Can be customized via downloading the software, but I've not bothered. On the fly dpi adjustment. Very responsive. Easy to click, m4 and m5 buttons work great and don't dig into the thumb. The texturing under the side mouse buttons is surprisingly nice. It catches my thumb nicely. Cons- Super light. Some may see this as a pro but I prefer my mouse to have a bit of heft. Feels cheap. It's got a hollow feeling to it. It's 15 bucks though, so it kinda is what it is. The scroll wheel isn't good. It's not well built, and I'm absolutely sure that it'll be one of the first things that fails on the mouse. Overall, it's not bad. I won't vouch for it's long term viability due to it's cheap feeling construction, but as far as a super budget gaming mouse or a spare it does the job well. I've spent 15 bucks on worse.

    The build quality is good and tracking is great. There are multiple dpi options and lighting can be changed by hyperx software. A great option for entry level gaming gear.

    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.

    I used this mouse for cs go and for its price it was well worth it. Very lightweight and durable. The sensor seems to be up to date with its competitors. Simple to use and and great especially for a a claw-grip gamer.

    Solid mouse. Have owned it for about a year. My first one started to have an issue with the scroll; however, I just used the warranty that came with it from HyperX, and receiving a new one from them worked great. I'd say this is a solid mouse. Would recommend picking it up, especially if it's on sale.

    It's a good mouse but the fact that you need another piece of software running at startup and in the background is ridiculous. Good build quality of the mouse, DPI adjustment on the fly, seven button is plenty for anyone and not too heavy. The main reason for my 3 star review is HyperX Ngenuity software. It's decent software but the fact that the mouse will not work without the software is stupid. Especially when it says compatible with Windows 10. But another minimum requirement is a internet connection and HyperX Ngenuity software must be installed to even use the mouse. Should be plug-n-play like almost all gaming mice. If I Disable HyperX Ngenuity at Windows startup the HyperX Pulsefire Core does not work if I restart my system. My current Corsair mouse does not need Corsair iCue to be used. Windows recognizes immediately.

    I built up a gaming pc and needed an RGB keyboard and mouse to complete it. This HyperX mouse is the perfect match to the HyperX keyboard that I also bought. The mouse feels solid and smooth when using. The buttons are in the right position and curve of the mouse is great for gaming.

    Works well. Software is a little finicky, but it isn't required unless you want to play with the colors. Was tired of replacing batteries and occasional wireless "flakiness". Wired works best for me and this is mouse has a good feel. I don't use for gaming, so can't comment on that, but works great for everyday use.

    I have small hands. This mouse fits perfectly and cause my hand to feel stiff after extended use. I'm very pleased with it. Also, if you're someone who doesn't like the backlit logo, HyperX comes with a program to lower the opacity of the lighting. It's a little weird that it doesn't come with an official "OFF" switch, but that's fine.

    Good performing mouse but not the best software

    This is great feeling mouse. The braided cable is sturdy but still supple enough to not inhibit movement. The finger grooves are adequate but not so deep as to limit potential users fro, comfortably enjoying the mouse. The design is all around safe meaning it will fit many hands. The only real negative is the software which is not user friendly. Also, the lighting effects appear to have no onboard memory so the software has to be running in the background for your lighting preferences to work. However, the default effect (rainbow) is not offensive and the rgb is so minimal that I shouldn’t be a big problem for most. This is great budget mouse that should hold up.

    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.
