Best praise vs top criticism for HyperX Pulsefire Core
“Major W. Best I could manage in Goodwill is a HyperX Pulsefire Core for 5 freedom bucks”
“The G502 is basically an office mouse with RGB. And the HyperX is overpriced and underspecced. I would get something from Mchose or ATK that fits your hand. The RAWM Leviathan v4 has good reviews for large hands. Lgg LA-1 B-stock is cheap right now. If none of those fit your hands, we can start looking at other options, but those will be best price/performance ”
