The HyperX Pulsefire FPS Pro is a big gaming mouse made for right-handed users who mainly prefer using their mice with a palm grip. It's most likely best with hands bigger than 17 cm, which is, again, all a matter of personal preference. As for the surface and materials, the main coating is a semi-matte, metallic paint that feels good to the touch, has enough traction to maintain a stable grip, and doesn't collect fingerprints. The side panels are rubberized with a diamond-plate texture, which mainly feels good with dry or slightly moist hands. If your palms get sweaty, chances are the rubberized parts will become slippery.

Build quality is great on this particular product. I could only make the mouse emit a few very quiet creaking sounds by pressing on the side panels with great force, which should never happen when used regularly. Everything else is perfect and nicely aligned. Weight-wise, the FPS Pro is of medium mass compared to most similarly sized rodents, weighing in at 99 grams with a few centimeters of cable.

Buttons are more than decent on this mouse. However, HyperX could have used longer-lasting main buttons than the D2FC-F-7N models rated for only 20 million clicks. As for their click-feel, all buttons, including the scroll wheel, are on the good side; they are all nicely spammable, with a lot of tactility and are of good medium tension.

Sensor performance is nearly stellar. The only gripe is the smoothing above 1900 CPI, but most competitive gamers stay below that value anyways. Everything else is fine as there is no acceleration of any kind, perfect control speed is ridiculously high, and the sensor is as raw and responsive as it gets.

Mouse feet are not the best on this mouse. Even though they are relatively smooth, they could have less friction. No replacement feet are provided, which is quite a shame at this price point. As for the cable, it's rather light and flexible and doesn't seem to generate a lot of resistance or drag on the mouse pad. It's a good cord that is sufficiently long at 1.8 m.

HyperX should focus a bit on tweaking their NGenuity software as it's not the handiest program in its current state. It's extremely heavyweight and consumes quite a lot of resources in the background compared to most mouse drivers, and there are just not enough performance settings. You can't tune the lift-off distance, polling rate, button response rate, and a lot of other functions that should be customizable. As far as lighting goes, this mouse has some decent eye candy available. It has two zones of RGB lighting on the scroll wheel and the HyperX logo. These can light up in four different settings, all of which look nice, smooth, and bright. You can also turn all lighting off if you'd like to.

The debut price for this mouse was $59.99 as far as I could figure out, but the most recent MSRP is $44.99. I would call the FPS Pro more than a fair deal for this price, but its size and shape will limit it to a rather small segment of users in my opinion, so the price reduction is justified. If you find the shape and specifications suitable and don't mind the limited customization, I would gladly recommend the Pulsefire FPS Pro as it's certainly a great product when it comes to performance, buttons, build quality, and choice of materials.
