This is a review of the HyperX Pulsefire Core with each part of my reviews explained. Not a full explanation but just enough to address what people have been concerned with lately.
Basically I'm trying to find the best mice for FPS. There are multiple factors to mice and there is no such thing as perfect. So even if one has click latency, a bad cable or tight buttons, I might still use it because of the shape and weight. I try to keep everything in mind and base recommendations on people's individual needs. So find the right one for you! I have no bias toward any company.
As for the Pulsefire Core... for me, this is their best so far, because the dimensions and weight suit me. Really happy to see improvements on all their mice. However, while this is meant to be cheaper, the build quality isn't really exusable. Hopefully it's just this copy.
Mouse Info:
3327 optical sensor, lift off distance is just under 1 DVD on cloth and about 1 DVD on hard pad. Cable is standard 1.8 metres. Plastic all over (textured sides, smooth on top), under 95 grams and a great shape. Definitely worth a look, but I still prefer others like the Zowie S2 (my #1, obviously).
Update: Apparently it does have on board memory but the software is set up in a weird way. Usually I'd do a proper correction but the way they set it up doesn't make sense to me. Drag drop? What? How about a button that says "Save to on board memory", keep it really simple. Or how about whatever changes we make, once we hit apply, it does it automatically?

I don't even need a new mouse and I still watch your reviews lol.
I watch for the highlights.
Guanjyn same
same and i also like his voice
same here !
@@sibouras792 woahh that's kinda creepy
Hey, sorry about the voice/audio and stuff, did my best to get it at a decent level. I was trying to fix some saliva clicks and choked on some seasoning. Yup, still human, still trip over my own feet, but at least I can play Quake pretty well. Hope this explains some of the problems people had with my reviews anyway! And yeah this is why I don't explain everything in mouse reviews... they become too long and take way longer to make (this took about twice as long as a normal review). Back to normal from here on!
It's okay Zy :D
you're the most perfect mouse reviewer ever...the haters try to make you feel down...dont mind them...
could you do the corsair dark core?
@@imranrashid1347 who are the haters ?
No matter what you post il watch it even if i cant afford the mouse
The sound test is my favorite element of your tests.
This is indeed the review I really wanted. I like how you put details in every little things, hope you will continue like this.
Thank you for all the reviews! you helped me pick my mouse! Merry Christmas Zy!
Thank you so much! After binge watching all your reviews I was able to find the perfect mice in my price range. You just earned a new subscriber!
This review was absolutly perfect, nice job!
Hi, I wanted to thank you for your effort and extensive research in suggesting sizes and models of mouses for specific grips. I haven't seen any other person doing this. Your website suggested hyperx core for me and I'm more than satisfied, keep up with the good work!
Hey Zy, thank you so much for making all of these mouse reviews! Upon hours and hours of watching your videos, I've finally decided to get a g305. I've been using the DeathAdder 2013 until my new g305 arrived yesterday and, even though I have a 19x10 cm hand, my aim improved A LOT. Now I feel like my brain and my mouse are directly connected, lol. You're the best dude, keep it up!
Nice time to upload. Will be getting a mouse these days!
Zy. You are seriously the go-to guy for finding out about gaming mice. You're why I bought a Steelseries Rival 110. Your reviews are easy to listen to, informational, and not dragged out. You are a saint.
Merry christmas i hope ur doing good since ur videos are amazing!
hey man just letting you know that your explanations helped alot on how i choose mice now. i didnt know that shape and sizes affect aiming and comfort. i was just content and was just soldiering through to my quite bad mouse that isn't really for my hand because of how small it is (5 inches x 2 inches) and i kept getting some pain and numbness when i play games like osu who is very flick extensive and alot of directional changes. honestly im quite surprised myself that i can even play properly on it (and like you said the human body will adapt to it anyway) luckily Core is pretty cheap in my country and im happy to get it the next time around hopefully ill have significant better experience
thank's you for all RJN !
You made me switch from a death adder to ec2a thx man
Love how the Core has a shape similar to the old school Abyssus but with a bit more flair and side buttons.
I just bought this Pulsefire Core and i frickin love it! I came from a razer mamba elite and i should have buy it instead of a mouse more than twice the price... it"s great for small hands, good strong clicks, good shape, top accurate. Love it!
I know I'm late but does this mouse still works that great after an year I mean like I am a low sens player and need a good sensor.
I absolutely love the Mionix caster ,shape and weight, i have 21cm hands so its supposed to be to small for me but i find i have total comfort and control with the Caster.
Merry christmas! Bought the Rival 310, super excited to open it on christmas day.
Nice, hope you like it!
Hello ZY Thank you for your mouse tests, I love your channel;) Currently I am looking for a new mouse to replace my Cooler Master sentinel III. Difficult to find the perfect mouse among all these choices, with a hand of 19.5 long and 10.5 wide, claw grip, I can not decide :) Good luck, your videos are great.
Just bought the g703 and i gotta say thanks for the your reviews it helped find a perfect mouse for my hand and with great features. Oh and got thr g213 prodigy
Merry Christmas RocketJumpNinja 😁
Same to you guys!
@@RocketJumpNinja Could you please review the Roccat Lua. There's not much reviews on it since it's a fairly old mouse but some pros in the fortnite community have started to use it and I wanted to know if it's suited for large or small hands, has good coating, etc. Thanks
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas 2021
hey man good stuff I have a video idea for you: review some vertical mouse or just do a general review on all of them, compare their sensors and such
I just love so much your vids man!!! Keep up the great work!!!
I really enjoy your videos, they're amazing. I kid you not, I have put your reviews on and fallen asleep to them. I have heard all of them multiple times now lol. Quick question if you don't mind, I recently picked up the Roccat Kone Pure Owl Eye. I love it, it's lightweight, amazing build quality everything feels right. The issue I have is, when aiming it feels perfect, but the small adjustments in aim are what I am having issues with, missing a lot of small detail shots. My hand's are 19.3 by 11.6. I do a Palm/Fingertip Hybrid grip I guess you could say. Should I switch to a larger mouse is that the issue? Thanks RJN
Can you bring back the upcoming reviews portion on your site it really helped bevause i dont really know where to get information on new mice and gaming peripherals and that was my go to place or could you do videos in which you talk about upcoming mice and your thoughts on them love the content
Might be worth doing a comparison vid between this and the rival 110 since they both fit into the budget category. Just a thought. Loved the vid.
You know its an early Christmas gift when Rocket Jump Ninja uploads
Since you have reviewed mouse bungees as well, could you consider reviewing (custom) paracord mouse cables, which don't contain the stiff copper shielding the stock cables have. Some people claim that those feel as good as wireless mice for that reason. If that's true, more people need to know about those.
Hey I have been a fan of yours for awhile and I’ve always dreamt of having any of the ultralights. I will pay full retail price with tax, but as a 13 year old I can’t pay the outrageous prices for resell. Thank you for your mice wisdom and can’t wait for your next review/vid! Edit: I do not care which whether it is phantom, air 58, or ultralight pro. If anybody else has any of them and are willing to sell for retail, then I would also be fine making a sale.
5:28 Good on ya for pointing this out My copies mouse 1 also got loose after just a week of use. Maybe it was always a bit loose, just became extremely noticable after 1 week. It got to the point where I couldent hold it firmly. No accidental clicks but it felt super uncomfortable with how loose it was on my index finger So my copy was like that too, dont wanna scare people but thats important Thanks for pointing that out for others to see
Nice Review As Always
RJN As I see it, you talk really good about the finalmouse (the ultralight ones) And this is the mouse I want to go for once available. Do you think I should go for this mouse? (what mouse do you use? ur aim is good and I want to practice to become like you. My current mouse is horrible and my aim suck with it! I want to better the aiming, but you also talk about smaller mouse being better? Isnt the finalmouse pretty big? Btw my hands are 19 - 19,5 cm length nut sure about width but around 9-11 cm. And just want to say Im a big fan of your videos, so much info, calm voice just 10/10
Nice vid from my boy Zy again.
Please do the Corsair m65 rgb Elite now. Used to be a m65(old one) user and it got torn out after 3 years or so, decided to get the new one with the optical sensor but it scatched my mousepad so even though I loved the shape I decided to get a deathadder elite. But now when I see that the new m65 is about the same weight as the deathadder, I'm tempted to buy it. Would be great to see your opinion first though since I watched alot of videos before deciding to get the deathadder.
Hi Rocket Jump Ninja, found your channel which is awesome just sub btw :) i just bought the "Razer Abyssus Essential" while its all good im disappointed that the "Clicking Sound is really Loud and feels hard", i own the original "Razer Abyssus" version and the clicking sound volume was really good low and soft. May i ask if "Razer Abyssus V2 or 2014" are also loud clicks" hope to have your opinion on this or maybe a new recommendation, thanks and merry christmas!
Hey Zye don’t know if is spelled that right but it’s ok. I would love to see you try other games in the background that also require a amount of aim! Love the reviews and this is how I found my favorite mouse.
Hey Zy, I just found out about a somewhat interesting mouse and figured I'd tell you about it. There's a mouse called the Azio Atom. It's only 40 bucks, has 3360 sensor, and it looks to be about the same size as the Rival 110 and not much bigger than the G Pro. Has an interesting shape, and the only off I can see about it is the fact it doesn't have comfort grooves. You should check it out, maybe you'd like it, plus that way I could see if I'd like it since we have similar hand sizes.
Just bought this one, your review helped me decide. And am super satisfied.
i have this mouse but feel like i need a smaller one,whats ur hand measurements?
@@uselessdegenerate7565 18/9 cm
Miraklum I'm 18/8 and I use fingertip/claw grip,I feel like I need a smaller mouse.What grip do u use?
@@uselessdegenerate7565 Fingertip, perhaps you want to claw and that is your main. Try a smaller or more arched mouse. For fingertip, at least for me its great, we are all different...I just feel like the top buttons could be bigger. I had a Roccat Pure Military Edition and it always felt like something was missing, came to the conclusion it was its shape...
@@uselessdegenerate7565 BTW, measured more accurately and I'm 18,5/9,5 not a big difference but more accurate. Check this out: www.rocketjumpninja.com/hyperx-pulsefire-core-review/ But like he says in his vids everyone is deferent, for me this shape is better than the Roccat Pure
hey rocket im new to the channel and im enjoying the content! can you do a review on the vx aimswitch by Gamesir? id love to hear your feedback with a in depth review on the mouse. keep up the good work!
This is my first symmetrical mouse, I came from the death adder elite and for $50 and a 2 year warranty included this mouse impressed me quite a bit with its performance and how comfortable it is. My right click is slightly loose but doesnt make a difference when I'm holding the mouse, after going to this mouse and my first feel of a symmetrical mouse I dont think I will ever go back
Just switched from rival 600 to the divina s2 and boy is it good. New main for sure. Perfect for smaller hands
Hey Zy, love your vids :D I'd love to see you buy a bunch of very cheap gaming mouses of amazon (£12 max per mouse for example). And review their shapes, sensors compared to more expensive ones on the market from high up brands, such as logitech/razer/hyperx. thanks!
Hello! What do You think about Bloody A90? Can You review some of bloody mouse?
great mouse, love the reviews.
Hi dude that was good video and just asking to you the pro, if zowie gonna make a zb over the za series because i won't buy the za13 if zb13 come out you now so thanks to help and good luck.
Can you make a review of the new Corsair Harpoon RGB Wireless, becouse it is a pretty cheap Wireless mouse, but seems quite good though.
Good video, how many steps does the scrollwheel have?
Hello Zy, I'm kinda late and not talking about the video, but could you please tell me if the Razer Abyssus 2014 and Zowie S2 have the same shape and feel? Hope you answer.
I hope you review the glorious odin mouse when it comes out :)
when he puts the mic near mouse and click super awesome asmr
Hello Zy, thanks for your reviews, i watched many of your videos. Continue the nice work! Can u help me.choose a mouse? My hand is 20.50 x 11.50, and i use fingertip grip. I had a ec2-a but it seems too small now maybe its just placebo
And i use high sensitivy for csgo
6200 dpi (pulsefire surge has 16,000) 87 grams 30$ or less depending on the store yeah it's a lit mouse
You should try something like the Sharkoon Shark Force, it's very affordable and has been good in my experience. I'm no professional though.
can you review the swiftpoint z? even if you just talk about the shape and how it performs, rather than the gyroscope and other stuff it would still be interesting to see your thoughts
I have this mouse and loved everything about it however I also have loose left and right clicking but the deal braker is the Latency of the clicks. I noticed it alot when switching from G403.
Could you review the Hiraly-f300? It’s a 17$ mouse that I want to know if I should buy
How does the mouse handle rather sweaty hands? Had some problems with the Pulsfire fps, cause my hands tend to get sweaty fast, and I then lose a fair portion of grip. Hope this one handles it better, because I really like the shape.
Do you think the castor is still a good choice? I think I'll like the shape, but on your website vs your video review there are different recommended dimensions. I have 16x9 hands
Hey Zy! What mouse do you recommend for 16.5 cm 8.25 cm hands(FPS and MMOS)
I also noticed the shrinking in width of mice, at least in the grip. In the future we might have mice that resembles a handle/broomstick where your fingers grip inside while the rest of the body stretches around it, more or less like a saber or a motorcycles whereas the body of the mouse would be the hand protection.
Hey Rocket I had a question, my palm dimensions are 19 cm long and 10.5 cm wide and I use a Razer Death Adder. I often get this pain on my ring and pinky finger when I use my mouse and my thumb also often hurts when I use the side buttons(also I use palm grip), I wanted to know if I should look for a new mouse or it's a problem with my chair and mouse height set-up. I have used a SteelSeries rival 300 as well and still the problem persists. I plan on using your guide to buy my next mouse, Thanks and have a great 2019!
I want you to review the new Corsair Ironclaw mouse, heard it was really good, but I don’t know if it’s good for me yet.
I had a g502 until I realized it was heavy. Tried the wireless gpro and loved it. On a whim I decided to try a zowie based on the reviews I see and got the za13, and WOW. My aiming instantly improved, it’s honestly angering me considering it’s nearly 1/3 the price of the gpro.
@Rocket Jump Ninja which mice would you recommend for palm grip ? :) (and mice that is ergonomic) for FPS //right now I have logitech g403 for like 6months and I still dont like the shape xD
Can you do a review on one of the Ducky Channel's Keyboard and talk about their PBT Double-Shot Keycaps and if it's worth it or not? I've watched some youtube videos about it but wanted to have a honest opinion on it. Thank you anyways!! o7
Hey, Im new to quake and wanted to know what zoom fov does and which one is the best for 115 horizontal fov. Thanks in advance!
Dose pulsfire surge fit for hybrid holding style (lowered fingers from claw and backed up palm whle under knuckles area still touches mouse) for 19cm long, 10.5wide palm. I know its hard for you to say correct for this situation so no problem if you cant help
For myself, I aim better with a wider mouse, not narrower. After I first started watching your videos I was trying out narrow and small mice left and right and wonder why I can't find my sweetspot in aiming. Now I have found them and they are the Deathadder and the EC1-A, two of the widest mice available. And I believe I will aim even better if both of them are around 1mm wider. My hands are 19*11, certainly not monstrous by any means.
i rly need help, i am a 4k3 sr player in Overwatch and i played with a Spirit of gamer pro-m8 since 3 years (15$ mouse btw) but lot of people say that my mouse is realy bad and if i had a fk2 i will probably be better but my problem is that that mouse is really special (the weight,the fact that she is very tiny, and the thumb report) i play essentially with fingertip, so my question is what should i buy ? I get used to it so I'm afraid of losing my love by changing my mouse thx.
How could anyone ever hate on you or any of your videos? Your reviews are some of the best reviews of products of any kind on the internet
It's the internet. Someone somewhere is gonna hate
I smashed my Asus Evolve mouse to bits yesterday because of that kinda loose left button. Between the plastic cover and the actual switch beneath, there seems to be like a half millimeter of space. That drives me insane hearing it! It feels unresponsive, too. It's the same thing with my Corsair M65 RGB Elite White. Is there an affordable mouse out there, you would recommend? Like 30 €. I just want a solid mouse looking as slick as the Asus Gladius and the HyperX Pulsfire - with solid buttons. Not for gaming, just for clicking icons and scrolling.
I love Your reviews for the technical product overview. Very informative and clearly presented. My only gripe would be this - You should clearly say what specific grip You do use in some videos. You use 1-2-2 and You review mice based on that. I've bought G603 once but only then noticed how terrible it is for my fingertip 1-3-1 grip(I always gamed with 3 fingers on top for easy buttons and wheel access). I returned it no problem but now I know that all Your mice reviews are unfortunately mostly useless to me since You barely, if ever experiment with different grips. This is not a problem with Your reviews. These are amazing and this is just the grip You use. I still think the mx518/g400 shape is the best ever for 1-3-1 fingertip. Niexus looks like it does not have that lip on the right side to support little finger pick up
I'm currently using the logitech g pro and totally love it but it's a bit small to my taste. Which one should i switch to? My hand is about 19-9.5 and my grip style is fingertip.
Hey Rocket Jump Ninja, when do u think Finalmouse will get more stock of air58s or release a new mouse entirely?
I have a question about a Mouse idea Rocket Jump Ninja. Do you think companies should start offering custom gaming mice to the measurements of your hand and choose from different types of designs.
Left button is loose on mine as well.
Same
Yeah, left button on mine rattles as well. Hasn't caused any noticeable issues yet, but it is weird. (bought in the EU) Otherwise it's an excellent mouse. I don't know what exactly makes the difference, but I feel like I have way more control with this as opposed to the EC2B I used before, especially when it comes to recoil control. Might be just because it's symmetrical. Only thing I'd change about the design is lift the side buttons up a bit higher and/or make them a little bit smaller: as it is now, it's too easy to accidentally hit button 4 if your grip isn't perfect.
@@BackwardsPancake most likely the way it fits your grip. Might be worth looking into the zowie za series if this shape works well with you
@Christopher DeLaCruz I actually used a ZA13 for a while before, and I dug it out again to compare now that you mentioned it. The shape is very slightly narrower, and very slightly taller at the top of the hump. Still comfortable, but the Pulsefire feels just a little bit better. It also has that same issue where unless the grip is exactly right, you run the risk of hitting button 4 by accident, but it's easier to "miss" the grip because the hump forces the hand up a bit more, meaning the thumb falls on the side at a steeper angle, which means more of it overlaps that button. Having programmable extra buttons on the Pulsefire is also great, worth the sacrifice in weight in my personal opinion. I definitely prefer the stiffer scroll wheel on the ZA though.
Right click is loose for me so no complaints because it's right click
Are you going to be doing a Razer Nari review? You did want a wireless Kraken TE/Man o War.
With a 20cm hand and a palm/claw grip and that I always had steelseries sensei raw do you think the G305 is great or should I stick to a sensei shape like the DM1 FPS pro. I would love to have a wireless mouse but I m not sure if the seize is right for me
RJP, cant u pls include the rounding on 8 track mouse movement? I did this with my g403 in the middle of mousepad, 10 times doing "8 track" n my mouse ended in the right side of the mousepad. I really wanna know if there is super accurate mouse.
May be you could try laser mouse over bright and White ceramic, like razer lancehead that performs as a sniper at 8200(native) cpi 1000hz with the minimal lift off. Im trying to find a aluminium mirror with high reflectance. I have a g900 and a lancehead do you want a comparison?
Hey Zy :) are you planning on reviewing the new intellimouse pro?
@rocketjumpninja Which 1 better to get : SteelSeries Rival 310 or Logitech G502 Hero or SteelSeries Rival 600 ?
Iv always wondered this while watching ur vids but how many hours do you actually have on quake?
Rocket Jump Ninja. Tell me what sensor should i get in my mouse. Your aim is Godlike. What sensor is good and accurate?
Between the options of Pulsefire Core, Pulsefire Surge and Pulsefire FPS PRO what would you guys suggest? Is it worth to upgrade my Pulsefire FPS?
Some people are saying that their steelseries rival 600 side grips are peeling off after a few months is this true so I know before I get it as you did a review on it before
have the same hand size as yours but what is your main mouse right now? I have been using the G903 for a while now but it just doesn't seem right to me.
Could you compare the Razer Orbweaver to the Gamesir VX Aimswitch and review the mouse that it comes with?
Just to make something clear the latency test might be a better representation of click tension on a mouse although there is always the latency.
Do you think this is a good alternative to the Logitech G203? Mine is having trouble with Mb2 so I need a new one.
S series or G Pro Wireless ? Already got some extras mice feets for my FK2 plus a paracord cable but i need a better sensor than the 3310 from my fk2
Hi, i need some help to choose a new mouse. I've been using the steelseries sensei raw for 4 year and I want to buy one of the zowie fk series but i don't know which one will be better to me between the fk2 and fk1. My hands are 18.5 cm x 10 cm. Thanks
im sure you know by now. but to not have to change the profile everytime you start up on the core. you slide your profile to the on board memory on the mouse at the bottom of the program
Razer Mamba Elite or Razer Basilisk? I know it depends on my preference but I want your opinion on it.
Can you please do a Logitech G602 review I’m really thinking of going wireless on a budget but I really want to know what you think about it
just ordered the ec2b divina. if only the s2 was good for palm grip ;(
Could you review the Redragon Cobra and compare it to the G Pro?Ty
Hi Rocket jump ninja. I have a little problem. I play a game semi professional level but I want to improvit to higher level. I feel im not that accurate what i want to be. People and my teammates say im accurate but i cant really feal it. Its could be mutch better. I working a place where im lifting a lot and almos all the time I have very tired hands. Can u recommend a mouse for me please? I have a g305 at the moment but i think is too light for me. I play fps games quake and csgo amd rainbow six. Hevyer mous could help for me? I practice every day a lot hozrs in aimtraings. Thanks for ur answer. Sorry for my bad english I hope u understand xD
Which mouse has the best buttons in your oppinion ? I am a moba player with a hand size very similar to yours. Which mouse would you suggest I get ?
