HyperX 2 Pulsefire FPS Pro Mice

Wear and Tear

I purchased 2 HyperX Pulsefire Pro mice, one in 2018 and another in 2021. On both mice, the mouse grips became loose and would no longer stick properly very quickly, within less than 2 years of owning them, but with the newer mouse there were also issues with the scroll wheel not being aligned correctly and therefore not scrolling properly. The old mouse oddly enough did not have this issue. I thought with the newer mouse being a newer model the mouse grip issue would no longer be present, let alone have more issues, but I digress. I even tried super glue for the first mouse's grips, but that only solved the issue for a few months. While usable in this condition, it's unsatisfying to use a mouse that partially fell apart after not that much usage, especially knowing its predecessor did the exact same thing. Furthermore, while not related to the damage, the shape of the newer mouse is not as optimal for me as the older one, in my opinion, as it is too small and arched higher, which I dislike. Unfortunately, I cannot justify purchasing another mouse from HyperX, and will be looking into other brands for the future.

I love the shape and the familiarity I now have with these mice. I love the way it moves as I use it, and has been very mechanically reliable (particularly the older one, the newer one only when I fixed the scroll wheel system that HyperX didn't seem to design very well). The old one does show its age however, as it occasionally, especially recently, makes the cursor jump a few inches across the page, but I have not yet investigated whether or not this is related to my OS/drivers.

HyperX Alloy FPS RGB

Still In Use

- Some keys know to repeat them self so not so good for writing. I think it's because of the switchers witch are Cherry MX Speed Silver. They are same as Reds but don't need that much resistance cause of the low spring. - Rubber pads on the standoffs fell off, need to just reglue them.

- Aluminum plate - Useful FN+F6/F7/F8 for skip back, pause/unpause, skip forward.

HyperX Cloud II

Wear and Tear

Nothing has broken, but over a very long period of use the rubberized coating on the headband and other plastic parts has degraded and become sticky/tacky

This product served me very well over the course of many years of daily use. Price/performance very much appreciated and kept going strong until they eventually were replaced by choice, not by necessity

HyperX Cloud 2

Wear and Tear

Occasional clicking noise when playing loudly, likely due to the sound chip in the audio controller wearing out because the same headphones were operational with a different chip. Microphone isn't fantastic quality but is sufficient.

High quality sound. Very comfortable. Looks good.

HyperX Cloud 2

Wear and Tear

Headband and earpads are faux leather, because of that after years of use it interacts with sweat and breaks down.

After extremely heavy use for 6 years(nearly every day min. 5 hours) impressively robust. Drivers are same as day one and due to my clumsiness, it was not damaged even when the aux input was plugged into the computer, and the cable was violently snapped many times over the years.

HyperX Cloud KHX-H3CLW

Wear and Tear

Faux leather peeled from the earpads and headband within 1 - 1.5 years, I remember being surprised how short lived they were; since then I'm using the fabric earpads which are still in good condition (headband is not replaceable unfortunately). The white plastic pieces at either end of the headband broke after maybe 3 years and had to be zip tied (see photo). Inline volume/mute controls broke after 4 years, adding a crackly/static-y noise to the audio; I'm using the included extension cord now that doesn't have controls. Detachable microphone broke after maybe 5 years.

Still in daily use, sound quality is still like new. Very very comfortable even after hours of wear, doesn't press down on the ears. For the 51 GBP I paid for it, it was and still is as good as it gets.
