Graphical Vs Comparison
Wow! The Monkeys 🐒 learnt to make Graphs!
| Physical Characteristics (mm, grams) |
|
| Sensor Characteristics (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better) |
|
| Latency Characteristics (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better) |
|
| Other Features (0 ➡ 100%) (worse ➡ better) |
| 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 HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 and Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro, 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, mice have different utilization aim, Pulsefire Haste 2 is meant to be Gaming mouse while Dark Core RGB Pro, instead, Gaming. The first one is younger, 1 years old, being released in the 2023, while Dark Core RGB Pro is older, 4 years old, being released in the 2020. The production age difference is 3 year(s). This makes the Pulsefire Haste 2 kind of 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 Dark Core RGB Pro mouse, Pulsefire Haste 2 is ~2.70 mm (or ~0.11 in) Shorter, ~14.20 mm (or ~0.56 in) Narrower and ~4.80 mm (or ~0.19 in) Lower, which makes it, overally, 21.7 mm (or -0.85 in) significantly smaller and better suiting tinier hands.
Considering the weight, HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 is 55% lighter, a difference of 72.10 g (0.16 lbs), which can be considered very 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, Pulsefire Haste 2 is meant to be Ambidextrous while Dark Core RGB Pro is Right-handed. They offer different grip, Palm grip, Claw grip, Fingertip grip, Claw grip by Pulsefire Haste 2 while Dark Core RGB Pro has Palm grip, Claw grip; the first one can be considered more adaptable, with a greater number of grip possibilities equal to 4 instead of the 2 offered by the other one.
• Sensor and Latencies 🐭⏱️
Let's now compare HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 sensor with the one of Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro. The two mice share the same sensor technology, that is Optical, but different sensor model: HyperX 26K equipped by Pulsefire Haste 2 and PAW3392 used by Dark Core RGB Pro. 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 Pulsefire Haste 2 provides 25800 DPI/CPI, while Dark Core RGB Pro offers 17900 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, Pulsefire Haste 2 is offering 31% better Max Resolution, 8000 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, the models show equal values, 50 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, Pulsefire Haste 2 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.
Pulsefire Haste 2 has a Polling Rate of 1000 Hz, in other words it reports data to computer 1 time every 1.00 ms, while Dark Core RGB Pro is characterized by 2000 Hz or an input every 0.50 ms, making this last one having 50% better Polling Rate. Anyway, Dark Core RGB Pro offers adjustable lift off distance through software.
Click and Shift Latencies
HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 has higher click latency than Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro, a not so small difference of 2.15 ms, 27% worse Click Latency, which can be evaluated slightly 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 Pulsefire Haste 2 and Dark Core RGB Pro shift latency. Contact us to request priority data update.
• Other Features 📎
Let's now have a look, finally, to the general features of the two mice. They are equipped with different Switch Technology, Pulsefire Haste 2 has HyperX Mechanical while Dark Core RGB Pro has Omron D2FC-F-K; moreover, the Switch lifespan of first mouse is 100 millions clicks while the second is 50 millions clicks, 50% better Lifespan, a difference of 50 millions clicks that can be evaluated very significant. The Feet Material is better for Pulsefire Haste 2, being this Virgin Grade PTFE. Considering the available Number of Buttons, 6 offered by first mouse and 8 offered by the second one, a small difference of 2 that can be considered important or not depending on the utilization purpose. The first one has a declared battery time of 100h (type: Lithium polymer), the second one has a duration of 24h (type: -) meaning a difference of 76h. In the end, the features offered by HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 are On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB, while Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro is giving On board Memory, DPI Indicator, RGB Lighting, Customizable RGB.
