a better cable and smoother-gliding PTFE feet
it feels very well-built
It simultaneously feels lightweight and solid
Macro system is reasonably good too
Setting up profiles is pretty straightforward
Pulsefire Surge felt accurate and responsive
reliable and long-lasting
Pulsefire Surge performs well and is an affordable option
exciting and innovative tech
seem responsive and precise
HyperX Pulsefire Surge is quite beautiful
fairly straightforward and easy to use
Omron switches feel crisp and satisfying to click and the extra buttons feel solid yet responsive
lightweight
high precision
and satisfying buttons
better companion software out there and is very intuitive to use

The buttons are not flat
there is no option to delete or edit times
lack of buttons
Pulsefire RGB has to be turned way down on the DPI scale
uses rigid cardboard to be the inner packaging
the software does not work perfectly
missing is a customizable weight system
to a 360-degree ring around the edge of the peripheral and
lacks some of the extra features that some more expensive mice boast
the click latency is fairly high for a gaming mouse
the mouse is heavy
cumbersome in tight spaces
the cable quality feels only decent
the sensor is slightly inconsistent and tends to undershoot during fast cursor movements
the software could use some extra polish
launch on some test systems
The user interface looks bland and dated
come off too strong or too light
color-coding is never seen outside the guts of the software
They never missed a click
nor were they prone to accidental presses
the latter was placed slightly too far down the mouse
too short for larger hands The Pulsefire Surge is a bit too short
NGenuity is frustrating
Pulsefire Surge is too big overall
is slow and unresponsive
8m This makes a bit smaller than the average mouse
the side buttons will probably be a lot tougher to use for left-handed gamers

The HyperX Pulsefire Surge is an adequate ambidextrous gaming mouse whose snazzy, encircling RGB lighting sets it apart, but its software needs some fixes.

HyperX joined the mouse game not too long ago, so they are still pretty much newcomers to this market. However, their second product of this kind already offers a PMW3389 top optical sensor, main buttons rated for 50 million clicks, 360° RGB lighting, and many more amazing features.
