Graphs Description The Physical Characteristics comparison is just a viewable representation of the devices' length, width, height and weight. Sensor, Latency and Other Features are, instead, computed within the range 0-->100, taking into account if the variable is getting better with the increase of its value (e.g the highest max DPI, the better it is) or vice versa (the lowest Click Latency, the better); for example, a score of 50 for both devices means they are equal, scores of 70 and 30 mean that first one better. So, the data are homogeneous to provide immediate meaning, higher bar(s) means better value(s). An empty graph means that there is not enough data to compute that comparison (one value or both are missing).

Final Vs Words

Aiding our visitors to the final choice between the mice.

This final paragraph will help you in the decision making process, between Razer Viper 8k Hz and HyperX Pulsefire Haste, and in selecting the mouse that is performing better and best suits your needs. We are aware that every user has own needs and preferences, due to this each mouse could be better for some features and worse for other ones. The purpose of the text is to highlight this possibility and generate an "overall score" for a purchase decision.

First of all, both mice share the same utilization aim, Gaming mouse. The first one is younger, 3 years old, being released in the 2021, while Pulsefire Haste is older, 4 years old, being released in the 2020. The production age difference is 1 year(s). This makes the Viper 8k Hz a bit more attractive in terms of freshness.

• Dimensions, Weight, Ergonomy 📐⚖️🫳

When it comes to evaluate mice dimensions, you should take into consideration the size of your hand and check if it would properly fit it or not. In this case, you should check which mice would be the fittest. Compared to Pulsefire Haste mouse, Viper 8k Hz is ~2.50 mm (or ~0.10 in) Longer, ~9.20 mm (or ~0.36 in) Narrower and ~0.40 mm (or ~0.02 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 7.1 mm (or -0.28 in) slightly smaller and better suiting tinier hands.

Considering the weight, Razer Viper 8k Hz is 17% heavier, a difference of 12.00 g (0.03 lbs), which can be considered moderately significant. We do not express a particular preference for heavier or lighter mice, being this a completely personal objective preference. Anyway, both mice does not offer weight personalization .

Regarding the Ergonomy, both mice can be used with right or left hand. They offer the same grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip; the degree of adaptability is the same and equal to 3.

• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️

Let's now compare Razer Viper 8k Hz sensor with the one of HyperX Pulsefire Haste. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: Razer Focus + equipped by Viper 8k Hz and PMW3335 used by Pulsefire Haste. It is very important to say that, although tech and model sometimes coincide, the assembly and composition of interior circuits might result in different specs and latencies.

Resolution, Max Acceleration and Max Tracking, Polling Rate and Lift Off
The mice offer different resolution range (DPImax - DPImin), the Viper 8k Hz provides 19900 DPI/CPI, while Pulsefire Haste offers 15600 DPI/CPI, meaning that the first one has larger range. Consider picking up the sensitivity range that mostly suits your needs, depending on the aim (Gaming/Business) but also the kind of game you are going to use it mostly (e.g. FPS is different than RTS or MOBA). If you need a higher precision mouse, meaning that for the same length of shift the mouse will recognize more movement, "reading" more dots per inch and, in other words, will move faster on the screen, Viper 8k Hz is offering 20% better Max Resolution, 4000 More DPI/CPI.

As for the Maximum Acceleration, which measures the maximum pull force in G(s) that the sensor can trace before inconsistencies occur, Viper 8k Hz shows a better value, 50 G, a small difference of 10 G. Going on, taking into account the Maximum Tracking Speed, the velocity (inches per second) that the mouse can move at before it starts to loose track and cause anomalies, Viper 8k Hz shows a preferable value, 650 IPS, a significant difference of 200 IPS. Take into account that max G and max IPS mostly affect activities requiring very fast mouse shift, together with the shift latency that we will analyse further in this section.

Viper 8k Hz has a Polling Rate of 8000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 0.13 ms, while Pulsefire Haste is characterized by 1000 Hz or an input every 1.00 ms, making this last one having 88% worse Polling Rate. Lastly, the Lift Off distance of Pulsefire Haste shows an higher value, 2 mm, a significant difference of 0.80 mm. Anyway, they offer adjustable lift off distance through software.

Click and Shift Latencies

Razer Viper 8k Hz has lower click latency than HyperX Pulsefire Haste, a consistent difference of 3.50 ms, 37% better Click Latency, which can be evaluated significant, in terms of compared performance. Anyway, we feel it is important to underline that the differences in latencies are often more perceptible from the machine's point of view rather than human's, reducing the real impact of these values and deviations. At the moment there is no available data to compare the mice shift latency, since the data of Pulsefire Haste is missing. Contact us to request priority data update. However, Viper 8k Hz has a shift latency of 6.1 ms which can be considered very good , compared to a medium quality mouse.

• Other Features 📎

Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Viper 8k Hz has Razer Optical Switches while Pulsefire Haste has TTC Golden; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 70 millions clicks while the second is 60 millions clicks, 14% better Lifespan, a difference of 10 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is the same, PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 8 offered by first mouse and 6 offered by the second one, a small difference of 2 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. In the end, the features offered by Razer Viper 8k Hz are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, while HyperX Pulsefire Haste is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
