Introduction

Hitscan is a gaming peripheral company based in the US. Hitscan is a new name in the gaming peripheral market, and the ambidextrous Hyperlight is their first release. At 40 g, the Hyperlight is exceptionally light, while still maintaining a mostly solid shell aside from the open bottom. PixArt's PAW3395 sensor capable of 26,000 CPI is used, along with Omron D2FP-FN2 optical switches for the main buttons. Hitscan promises up to 75 hours of battery life, presumably at 1000 Hz. With the included wireless dongle, the Hyperlight is limited to 1000 Hz, but by pairing it with the separately available 8K Wireless Dongle, polling rates of up to 8000 Hz can be enabled. By default, the Hyperlight comes without feet, which is how the advertised weight of 39 g is achieved, but two sets of pure PTFE feet (a smaller and a larger one) are included in the box, and may be installed according to preference. The usual customization options are found in the software. The Hyperlight is available either in black or white.

Packaging

Aside from the mouse, one finds a USB Type-A to Type-C charging cable, wireless dongle, two sets of mouse feet (a smaller and a larger one), and quick start guide in the box.

Weight

My scale shows around 40 g (+/- 1 g), which is exactly in line with the weight cited by Hitscan, provided that no feet are installed. For comparison, the similarly-sized and closed-bottom Glorious Series 2 Pro Wireless weighs 55 g, whereas the slightly larger, open-bottom LAMZU Maya weighs 47 g, and the solid-shell, open-bottom G-Wolves HTX 4K weighs 43 g. An excellent weight overall.
