Best HyperX and Glorious Gaming Mouse: 10 Picks by Use

The best HyperX and Glorious gaming mouse picks are the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless for ultralight play and the Glorious Model O 2 Wireless for a long-popular ambidextrous shape, with cheaper wired options from both brands if you want to save.

Quick answer

If you want one of each brand: choose the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless (61 g listed) when you want a tidy, fast mouse from a headset-and-keyboard brand, and the Glorious Model O 2 Wireless (68 g listed) when you want a long-popular ambidextrous shape. Both sit in the mid price tier. For lower budgets, look at the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Core Wireless or the wired Glorious Model O Eternal.

This guide goes beyond those two brands because people searching for them often also want a mouse for a specific job: comfort for sore hands, scrolling, CAD software such as Revit, or a plain corded mouse. Each of those is covered below with a pick that fits.

Best mouse for arthritis and sore hands

We do not make medical claims. What we can say is that vertical mice keep the hand in a handshake position, which some people find more comfortable. If you have pain, check with a professional.

Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Wireless Mouse

Best mouse for Revit and CAD

HyperX vs Glorious: head-to-head

Both brands make ultralight mice, but they come at the job from different places. HyperX began with headsets and memory and brings a conventional, tidy approach to its Pulsefire line, with companion software and a design that looks at home on an office desk. Glorious began with enthusiast mice and still leans on its honeycomb-shell heritage and ambidextrous shapes that many players keep for years.

The decision usually comes down to shape. If your hand likes a gentle ergonomic curve, the HyperX is the more natural fit. If you switch hands, share a mouse, or prefer a symmetrical body you can hold in several grips, the Glorious is the safer choice. Neither makes a dramatic difference to your aim; comfort and familiarity do far more than a few grams.

Best HyperX mouse: which Pulsefire should you buy?

HyperX sells several variants of the same shell, and the naming can be confusing. In the store you will find the Pulsefire Haste 2 in wired and wireless forms, the Haste 2 Core Wireless, the older Pulsefire Haste, the Pulsefire Haste 2 Pro 4K and the modular Pulsefire Saga Pro. Here is how to choose between them:

• Haste 2 Wireless: the all-round choice with dual wireless and a long battery life as listed.
• Haste 2 Core Wireless: the cheaper wireless version with 12K DPI and six buttons.
• Haste 2 Wired: 53 g and 8000 Hz polling as listed, for corded fans who want the lightest option.
• Pulsefire Saga Pro: a modular, interchangeable-part design with 4k polling and a 72 g frame as listed; it is for tinkerers.

Best Glorious mouse: which Model should you buy?

Glorious also has a wide family. The Model O line is the ambidextrous one, the Model D line is ergonomic for right-handed players, and the Model I line is a larger ergonomic shape. Within Model O you will see Original, Minus (compact), Eternal (budget), O 2, O Classic and O3. The O3 line lists InfinitePlay swappable batteries on its wireless version and 130M-click optical switches on both versions.

• Model O Minus: a compact 58 g wired mouse for small hands, with a Pixart 3360 sensor and Omron switches as listed.
• Model O Eternal: the cheaper wired option used in our picks.
• Model O 2 Wireless: the mainstream wireless pick.
• Model O3 Wired: a premium wired option with 54 g weight and a 30K DPI sensor as listed.

Sensors, polling and why spec sheets can mislead

Spec sheets love big numbers, but most of them do not translate into better play. A 12K DPI sensor is more than enough; most players use between 400 and 1600 DPI. Polling rate matters only if your PC and game can use it. Weight matters more than most people think, because it affects how quickly you can start and stop a flick. Treat the sensor figures in a listing as a rough tier marker, not a performance forecast.

When two listings look similar, choose the one with the shape that fits your grip and the software you find easier to use. When a listing does not name its sensor, as with the HyperX Haste 2 Wireless listing, check the maker page before assuming anything.

Grip types and shape

Palm grip rests the whole hand on the mouse and suits longer, taller shapes. Claw grip arches the fingers and suits mid-sized shapes with a rear hump. Fingertip grip uses only finger pads and suits small, light mice. Both brands have options for each grip, but the Model O Minus is the clearest small-hand pick, while the Basilisk V3 suits palm grips and the Model O 2 suits claw grips.

Comfort and sore-hand setups

We do not make medical claims, but there are a few common-sense ways to reduce strain: keep your wrist neutral, use a mouse that fits your hand, take breaks, and adjust chair and desk height. A vertical mouse such as the Logitech Lift is one option people try. A lighter mouse can also lower the effort of moving it, which is one reason ultralight models are popular with players who play for hours. If you have persistent pain, talk to a professional rather than relying on a product.

Scrolling: free-spin, ratchet and tilt wheels

For long documents, spreadsheets or code, the feel of the wheel matters. A ratcheted wheel clicks per notch and is precise for gaming weapon swaps. A free-spin wheel glides through long pages with one flick. The Razer Basilisk line lists a HyperScroll tilt wheel, which is why it is our scrolling pick. Most ultralight mice from HyperX and Glorious use a standard ratcheted wheel, which is better for gaming than for long-page scrolling.

Revit and CAD: what to look for in a mouse

CAD users value a precise sensor, a comfortable shape for hours at a desk, and extra buttons they can map to orbit, pan and common commands. Wired mice avoid lag and battery interruptions. The 3Dconnexion CadMouse Compact is built around that workflow, but any good six-to-eleven-button wired mouse can work. If you use a 3D mouse such as a SpaceMouse alongside a normal mouse, confirm Revit compatibility with the maker before you buy.

Corded vs wireless in 2026

Wireless gaming mice have closed most of the gap with wired. The main reasons to stay corded are lower cost, no battery, and a slightly lighter mouse at the same price tier. The main reasons to go wireless are a clean desk and the ability to switch between PC and laptop using Bluetooth. If you play on a desktop and do not travel, a corded mouse such as the Model O Eternal or G502 HERO is perfectly fine.

Buying guide: thresholds that matter

Weight

Under about 60 g is ultralight. 60 to 80 g suits most players. Over 80 g suits those who like a planted feel.

Connection

Wired avoids battery worries. Dual wireless adds Bluetooth for laptops. UWB and 8K polling are for competitive players with strong PCs.

Shape

Symmetrical shapes like Model O suit most grips. Ergonomic right-hand shapes like Basilisk suit palm grips with extra thumb buttons.

Buttons and software

Six buttons is enough for shooters. MMO and MOBA play favour 9 to 13 buttons.

Software, profiles and everyday use

Both HyperX and Glorious ship companion software for remapping buttons, saving DPI stages and adjusting lighting. HyperX uses its NGENUITY software and Glorious uses its Core software, and both save profiles to the mouse so that your settings travel with it. Before you buy, check that the software runs on your operating system, since Mac and Linux support is often thinner than Windows support. If you share a PC, keep a simple profile on the mouse and avoid leaving lighting effects running, which can add visual clutter without any benefit.

Common mistakes when picking a gaming mouse

• Buying the lightest mouse without checking hand size; a very light mouse that is too small causes cramped fingers.
• Paying for polling rates your PC and monitor cannot use.
• Assuming wireless always means higher latency; modern 2.4 GHz links are close to wired for most players.
• Ignoring mouse feet and mat: a good mat often improves control more than a new mouse.
• Forgetting that a listing may leave out key specs, such as the exact sensor, and trusting the headline number instead.

How these picks compare on price tier

To keep expectations realistic, here is how the picks fall by price tier in the store, without quoting exact figures. Budget: Glorious Model O Eternal, Bloody R36 Ultra, Logitech G502 HERO and the HyperX Haste 2 Core Wireless. Mid: HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless, Glorious Model O 2 Wireless, Razer Basilisk V3 and the Logitech Lift. Premium: SteelSeries Sensei Pro Wireless. The 3Dconnexion CadMouse Compact sits in the mid tier. If your budget is tight, the budget tier gives you the biggest share of the experience for the least money, and you can always move up once you know which shape you prefer.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 Wireless for a polished ultralight mouse, the Glorious Model O 2 Wireless for an ambidextrous shape, and the Model O Eternal if you want the lowest price. Choose the Razer Basilisk V3 for scrolling and buttons, the Logitech Lift for comfort, and the CadMouse Compact for CAD.

If you are unsure between the two main brands, start with the shape that matches your grip, then check weight, then price. A mouse that fits your hand will outperform a lighter or more expensive one that does not, and every pick here can be compared on current store prices before you commit.
