Kingston’s HyperX brand has been a real hit for the company. A brand focused explicitly on gaming has allowed it to branch off into peripherals and related products in a big way. These products include an extensive breadth and depth of keyboards, mice, headsets, memory and other gaming associated accessories built for both beginners to serious eSports competitors. Today, we will be looking at one of their gaming mice offerings. They HyperX Pulsefire Surge is a gaming mouse that boasts pinpoint accuracy with its state-of-the-art Pixart 3389 sensor. It just happens to have 360° RGB lighting effects as well.

What’s in the Box?
These days, most products rely on digital assets to form the entirety of the product experience. This experience includes software, manuals, firmware, and other utilities. HyperX is no different, and the contents of the box are pretty straight-forward. You get the HyperX Pulsefire Surge gaming mouse and a couple of quickstart pamphlets to point out where to begin the setup. Ideally, if HyperX wanted to reduce the carbon footprint; ultimately, a single quick start guide with a URL would more than suffice.
