The HyperX Pulsefire Haste 2 and Haste 2 Pro use the latest and greatest sensor, the same as all of their competitors, capable of up to 26,000 dots per inch. That means far greater sensitivity (or resolution)<\/a> than the previous model. While that might be this mouse\u2019s most important upgrade in this generation, the main difference between the Haste 2 and the Haste 2 Pro is the polling rate.<\/p>\n

To match the higher dpi, this is the first HyperX mouse with a 4,000-hertz polling rate. This is how many times a mouse reports its position to a computer\u2014the higher the number, the more responsive cursor movement. Most mice have a 1,000-Hz polling rate, but esports mice can go up to 8,000 Hz.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a lot of talk about whether such a spec is even useful. Plenty of tests show that the difference between 4,000 and 2,000 Hz is visually imperceptible, even on monitors with extremely high refresh rates<\/a>. The jump from 1,000 Hz on the Haste 2 to the Haste 2 Pro’s 4,000 Hz sounds like a big leap, but I promise only the most elite competitive gamers will notice the difference. That\u2019s a problem when it\u2019s the primary upgrade between the two.<\/p>\n
